The best time to go to the orthodontist for your child and braces is from the ages of eight to twelve.
About
You need to be at least age 7 to see an orthodontist who will decide if you need braces.
Usually your primary dentist will recommend the orthodontist about the time that the child's bones are nearing the end of their growth. If you want a smooth transition to an orthodontist and a dentist who is specifically geared to young ones, find a pediadontist. They do both and help you understand and plan as your child grows.
Your family dentist will usually be the one to suggest that a child needs to see an orthodontist. In general a child will be 12 or older before their teeth begin to need straightening.
You should definately start from 10-12. Below that with lead to more crooked teeth.
There really isn't an age limit for braces. You are pretty much never too old to have them on. If you meant age minimun, then that depends on the person and the orthodontist. If there is crowding or something that is concerning most orthodontists will do a free consult to let you know the plan for your mouth.
7-15
Really it depends on what you think, but from grade 7 and up is an good age. Its also better if they have no more baby teeth. If a child starting orthodontia is past 14, the orthodontist will tell you that he is "fighting the clock".
I had braces at age 10 after wearing a kind of pre-braces appliance for several years before that--starting at age 7. It depends on the course of treatment that your orthodontist feels is best. He or she will know when your particular teeth are ready for braces. If you don't have an orthodontist yet, you might want to have your parents make an appointment for you.
Why "designer"? Why not ordinary braces? Would a designer do a better job of making a set of braces than your own dentist? Anyway, a company called "Designer Braces" of New York says that it is best to see the orthodontist at about the age of 7, so I guess that they don't do much younger than that. Don't be a prat... get a regular set.
it doesn't matter how old you are but you need to have all of your adult teeth your adult teeth should be strait but if not you should get braces now it could be to late if you wait. !
Anyone can be a candidate for braces at just about any age. Braces are most common on adolescents between the ages of 13 and 18 because this is the earliest age they can be put on. Adults can also get braces and clear braces, like Invisalign are more common for adults.
