Both adults and children can seek out orthodontic treatments as needed. MINT dentistry's team of professionals recommend that you have your child evaluated for orthodontic treatment when they are about the age of seven. In some cases, our team may suggest the evaluation be performed at an even earlier age. A full examination will be provided so you understand how the teeth, gums, and jawbone are developing, which will help determine an orthodontic treatment plan. Science has shown that development in the mouth is critical from age 7 – 11 years old. Seeing an orthodontist early on gives you the opportunity to plan for future needs and know what could be an issue before it is time to get orthodontic treatment. While not every patient will require braces before they are 13 years old, for some, intervening early may help to avoid problems like overcrowding. Some patients will require the extraction of permanent teeth to make room for ideal alignment. Having orthodontics early also helps improve a misaligned bite.

There are lots of reasons why orthodontics for adults and children is not only desired but, in some cases, necessary. A few of the common reasons patients get orthodontic treatments include:

• Overlapping or overcrowded teeth
• Wide spaces between teeth
• An underbite or overbite
• Buck teeth (upper dental protrusion)
• A crossbite.

Traditional or Invisalign orthodontic treatments from MINT dentistry can create a straighter smile. At your initial consultation, your team will pinpoint your specific problem and explain the appropriate treatment to get your teeth in alignment.
