Orthodontic treatment knows no age! At Dyer Orthodontics, our services cater to the needs that come with each stage of life. Whether you’re looking to fix your child’s bite, boost your teen’s confidence, or perfect your own smile, we’re here to help.
Children often suffer from crowded teeth, gaps, overbites, underbites, and crossbites, which become noticeable as permanent teeth emerge. These issues usually appear because of genetics, habits like thumb-sucking, or early loss of baby teeth.
The American Association of Orthodontists suggests that children should have their first orthodontic check-up by age 7. Early treatment can prevent and tackle more serious issues before they develop, making future treatment simpler and shorter.
Early orthodontic treatment has these benefits:
Teenagers often deal with overcrowded teeth, misalignment, and bite issues due to rapid growth spurts and the eruption of all their permanent teeth. Since all their permanent teeth have usually come in by now, it’s the perfect time for an orthodontic check-up.
Teenagers should see an orthodontist as soon as they notice any irregularities in their bite or tooth alignment, which typically occurs between the ages of 12 and 16.
Some benefits of orthodontic treatment for teens include:
Adults can have the same orthodontic issues as kids and teens, like crowded teeth, gaps, and bite problems. Since age causes teeth to shift and gums to recede, they might also deal with tooth wear, gum disease, or bone loss.
It’s never too late to visit an orthodontist! No matter your age, a consultation can help you find the best options for a healthier, more attractive smile.
By visiting an orthodontist as an adult, you can experience:
Clear aligners are nearly invisible, removable trays that offer a comfy and discreet way to straighten your teeth.
Ceramic braces that match your teeth’s color, offering a subtle and effective alternative to metal braces.
Traditional braces that are tough and reliable, perfect for fixing a wide range of orthodontic issues.
No matter your age, it’s always the right time to let your smile shine. Contact Dyer Orthodontics today to schedule your appointment and learn more about our treatments!
