How old do you have to be to have orthodontic treatment?

While we treat all ages, between 8-10 years of age is the best age for an opinion of any orthodontic requirements your child may require. Like most things, any orthodontic problems are best caught early. Even before children lose all of their baby teeth, we can evaluate jaw development and available space for permanent teeth and offer preventative treatment or an orthodontic plan at the optimal stage of growth.
