Is it better to get braces younger or older?

Although is more common to start orthodontic treatment in the teenage years, more adults are starting orthodontic treatments, because any age is the best age to get braces no matter how old a patient is. 

Age

Even though most people believe 15 is a good age to get braces. Although, most of orthodontic treatment begins once all baby teeth have been replaced by permanent teeth, between the ages of 12 and 13. 

Type of braces

Invisalign is becoming popular, but this kind of veneer is easy to lose and damage, with this in mind, in our clinic at Laveen, Phoenix, we never recommend this kind of treatment in teenagers, metal braces are a better option, because retainers are easy to lose and need more responsibility by the patients. 

Kind of dental problem

Some dental problems should be resolved once permanent teeth finish growing and the jaw bone is still developing, but if you’re an adult don’t need to panic, every age is good to start dental treatment.
