When Is the Best Time to Get Braces?

The ideal age for orthodontic treatment is typically between 11 and 15. By around age 12, most permanent teeth have erupted, allowing for easier identification of issues such as crooked teeth, gaps, or bad bites. Since these problems rarely resolve on their own, this is when many parents seek orthodontic care for their children.

This stage is also an excellent time for braces because many children are undergoing similar treatment, making it more socially accepted. Peer influence often makes children more willing to wear braces, as they want to fit in with their friends.

Additionally, adolescents have faster metabolisms, which can help speed up treatment and minimise discomfort during orthodontic adjustments.
