Many parents wonder when to bring their child for an orthodontic evaluation. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children have their first check-up around age 7. This allows the orthodontist to spot early issues and plan treatment if needed.
That said, orthodontic care isn’t just for kids. Teens and adults can benefit too. In fact, clear aligners and modern braces have made adult treatment more popular than ever. It’s never too late to improve your smile and bite.
Early evaluations can prevent bigger problems later, and some children may benefit from early-phase appliances to guide jaw growth. Others can wait until more permanent teeth come in.
