Orthodontist - Windermere

Why 6-7 Is the Age For Braces

Wondering when you should first bring your child in to visit an orthodontist in Windermere? Between the ages of six and seven is the recommended time. Although that may sound early, orthodontic issues, like a severe crossbite, can be detected earlier in children. By intervening before they are teenagers, we can correct developmental issues and shape a more balanced smile from the start. This treatment, known as Phase 1 Orthodontics, is ideal for about 30% of children. To find out if your child would benefit from this smile-enhancing solution, we encourage you to bring them in for a complimentary evaluation. From there, we can get a better understanding of their unique dental needs and create a custom treatment plan around that!
