The American Association on Orthodontists recommends that children have their first orthodontic evaluation at the age of 7. While many children do not require treatment at that age, early diagnosis and treatment can help guide facial growth and tooth development. Proper timing of treatment can prevent more serious problems from developing.

Orthodontics is not just for children. With esthetic clear braces and Invisalign® treatment options, more and more adults are enjoying the benefits of orthodontics. People of all ages can appreciate the return on their orthodontic investment with better dental health and a great smile.
