Orthodontic treatment can create a beautiful, healthy smile at any age. But when is the ideal time to start? At Carter Orthodontics, we offer tailored solutions for children, teens, and adults to ensure the best results for every stage of life.
Ideal Age for Orthodontic Evaluation
The American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) recommends that children receive an orthodontic evaluation by age 7. Early assessments help identify potential issues like overcrowding, misalignment, or jaw development problems. Starting early allows our team to guide growth and prevent more serious complications later.
Teen Orthodontic Treatment
The teenage years are the most common time for braces or aligners. By this age, most permanent teeth are in place, and treatments like traditional braces or clear aligners can effectively straighten teeth while correcting bite issues. Teens at Carter Orthodontics also love discreet options like clear ceramic braces or aligners.
Orthodontics for Adults
It’s never too late to achieve the smile you’ve always wanted! Adults can benefit from modern orthodontic solutions like clear aligners, which are nearly invisible and fit seamlessly into busy lifestyles. We’ve treated patients well into their 60s and beyond.
