The ideal time to have an orthodontic evaluation, and start treatment if needed, is at age 6-7. An early start is so beneficial because the jaw is more malleable when it’s still growing. Although it’s ideal to get braces earlier rather than later, that doesn’t mean that you can’t get orthodontic treatment later in life. Dr. Gellerman can work with you to straighten your teeth, no matter what your age. As an adult, you might need to wear braces for longer than you would otherwise, but with Dr. Gellerman’s help you can still get fantastic results.
