Important FAQs regarding Orthodontics
Orthodontics is important for both improving function of your teeth and also to align them to give you that beautiful straight smile. It is important that teeth are straight to improve your ability to clean teeth, restore and ensure they wear evenly throughout life.
Generally we recommend to start braces when you have all your adult teeth, which is around 12 years old. We may need to see you earlier for adjunctive orthodontic treatment.
