Children and adults may have orthodontic treatment suggested to them. Our MINT dentists recommend that you have your child evaluated for orthodontics close to seven years old. Occasionally, our team may suggest the evaluation be performed at an even earlier age. A complete assessment can be performed so we can see how the teeth, jaw, and gums are growing, which will help determine an orthodontic treatment plan. Scientific research 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 developing needs and know what could be an issue before it's time to get an orthodontic treatment. Even though some patients will not require braces at a young age, for some, intervening early may help to control overcrowding. If necessary, we can extract some permanent teeth to allow room for proper alignment. Getting braces early also helps straighten crooked teeth.

There are many reasons why orthodontics might be necessary or desired. A few of the common reasons people need or want an orthodontic treatment include overcrowded or overlapping teeth, gaps, an overbite or underbite, buck teeth (upper dental protrusion), as well as a cross bite. Invisalign or braces from MINT dentistry can create a more symmetrical smile. During your initial consultation, your team will diagnose the specific issue and recommend which orthodontic treatments will align your bite.
