Braces

We believe orthodontic care should be tailored to each patient’s individual needs, but there are some general guidelines that can help you understand the best timing. *Results and treatment times vary.

Early Evaluation — The Australian Society of Orthodontists recommends a child’s first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. This early check-up doesn’t necessarily mean treatment will begin right away, but it allows us to detect any potential jaw growth issues, crowding or bite misalignments early on. By monitoring these developments, we can sometimes prevent the need for more complex treatment later.

Typical Age for Treatment — Most children who need braces begin treatment between the ages of 10 and 14, when most permanent teeth have erupted and the jaw is still growing. This makes it an ideal time for braces to gently guide the teeth into their correct positions.

Orthodontics isn’t limited to children, meaning adults can also benefit from braces too. There’s no age limit when it comes to improving your smile, correcting bite issues or protecting your long-term oral health.
