Whether you are 7 or 57 years old, orthodontic treatment can align your smile and boost your confidence. Thanks to modern technology, orthodontics is effective at any age.

⏱️ Why timing matters

Orthodontics corrects tooth alignment and bite, improving oral health, function, and aesthetics. Today’s treatments are suitable for both children and adults.

👶 Children & early adolescents

• First orthodontic evaluation recommended around age 7

• Early detection of crowding, bite problems, and jaw growth patterns

• Early intervention can simplify or shorten future treatment

👉 Ages 11–14 are often ideal for braces or clear aligners, as jaw growth supports easier alignment.

🧑‍🎓 Orthodontics for teenagers

• More responsive bone → faster results

• Discreet options like clear aligners

• Often shorter treatment time than adults

👨‍💼 Adults: it’s never too late

Many orthodontic patients today are adults. Benefits include:

• Improved alignment and functional bite

• Relief from jaw pain (TMJ)

• Better aesthetics, confidence, and easier oral hygiene

✨ Modern solutions like clear aligners make treatment comfortable and discreet.
