If you are wondering what is a good age to get braces for your children, it is important to speak to a dental professional before moving ahead with braces for your children. As they will need to monitor the change. As well as the overall health of the child to ensure they are at a healthy age to start. We often suggest to our patients, that the best age to start your children with braces is around the age of 6 or 7. This is due to the start of them getting permanent adult teeth.   Before kids start to get their permanent adult teeth, we want to ensure that their teeth and jaw are growing properly. Otherwise, they may need a much more invasive orthodontic treatment to fix any dental issues.   However, if we are looking at adults getting braces, they are worth it at any adult age, as they can greatly improve your smile. Impact your confidence in yourself and how you present yourself to others, as well as how others interact with you. Not only that, braces can help fix many dental problems you may have been dealing with for your entire life.
