Ever thought about why you don’t see many seniors with braces in high school yearbooks today? Look at yearbook or prom pictures from the 1960s or '70s and you'll see many “tin grins”. You don’t often see that today. Why? Kids today undergo orthodontic care at a much earlier age in Boca Raton, Coconut Creek and Miami Lakes FL and treatment is usually completed before their junior year when most yearbook and prom photos are taken. Some patients, with special problems, begin orthodontic treatment as early as age 7 or younger.
The American Association of Orthodontics (AAO) recommends that all children receive an orthodontic evaluation by age 7. This is when the permanent teeth begin to erupt and most orthodontic problems become apparent to general dentists and parents. If orthodontic treatment is indicated, the optimum time to determine the best course of treatment and timing to begin is when the teeth and jaws are still growing.Read more on Orthodontic Treatment is Often Considered a Rite of Passage Among Adolescents and Teens…
