While most children get braces between the ages of 11 to 15, there are some cases where younger children may need to get them as well. Once your child’s adult teeth have grown in, an orthodontic dentist can conduct a consultation and determine whether or not your child may need braces early on. Getting a professional opinion from Dr. Joseph Rajabi or Dr. Reza Rajabi can greatly benefit your child in many ways!
Some common reasons why a child may need braces include:
- Early orthodontic treatment can prevent tooth decay and other dental problems. When teeth are crowded, it can make proper brushing and flossing difficult.
- A more aligned smile can boost your child’s confidence.
- Braces may improve your child’s breathing since the misalignment of the roof of the mouth, teeth, or jaw can lead to breathing problems.
Your child is never too young to have their mouth examined by an orthodontist to determine whether braces are necessary.
