When should you look for an orthodontist?

The American Association of Orthodontics recommends that initial orthodontic evaluation should take place at the first signs of an orthodontic problem or no later than the age of seven. Early and prudent intervention can prevent serious problems later. As a rule, you can start treatment from the age of ten, and in some cases even a little earlier.
We also treat adults - even 70 years and older - because everyone deserves a beautiful smile!
