Age 12 to 16 is the most common time to start braces treatment and other Teen Orthodontics.
Orthodontic treatment is most commonly started between the ages of 12 and 16 because most permanent teeth have grown in by this time. Gaps, crowding, and issues with bite and alignment are easily detected by this time. Bone and jaw structures have sufficiently formed to allow orthodontic treatment to begin. Some kids and teens may have already begun Phase 1 treatment at an earlier age, and now may be the time to follow up with full braces or other teen orthodontics treatment.

This is also the age where many kids and teens develop a heightened awareness of themselves, their appearance, and their relationships with friends. Building self-confidence and balancing individuality with “fitting in” often takes up a large part of your teen’s life during this period of time.

If your teenager has gaps, crooked, or protruding teeth, they may feel self-conscious and hide their smile. Confidence and positive self-esteem can help your teen be successful through their education, social and future career goals.
