When is the best time to get braces? By: Dr. Jeffrey Jordan www.JWJordan.com 770-751-1240 Orthodontic treatment today is about faces not just braces. Consequently, facial esthetics dictates the proper timing for treatment. While treatment can contribute to the physical and psychological development of patients young and old,
some patients require early intervention. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an initial visit to an orthojordan dontist at age 7 for this reason. Most patients do not need early treatment, but if neces-
sary, amazing improvements in facial esthetics and function can be accomplished. The majority of patients benefit from a single treatment during adolescence, as the last few primary teeth are lost and the second molars erupt. The exact age varies, but most teens are in a rapid growth phase at this time. As a result, dramatic results can be achieved with improved facial esthetics and
function. For example, the smile can be made wider, the lower jaw can be advanced, or a gummy smile can be eliminated. These changes can be life altering for some patients during the teen years.
Of course, adults want to look good too, and orthodontic treatment for adults is more popular than ever! Invisalign, clear braces, and improvements in surgical techniques make having a fantastic smile easier too.
