Kids getting braces at a younger age

Braces were originally considered to be best appropriate for teens. But these days, kids as old as seven are beginning their orthodontic treatment. Because preadolescent kids are typically not self-conscious, our friends at the American Association of Orthodontists suggest it could be a good idea to start early.

Experts, however, say it depends on the treatment required. Some children who get braces at an early age end up in a second phase of treatment, and end up having braces well into their teenage years despite starting young.

Most orthodontic treatment begins between ages nine and 14, and the folks at AAO estimate most orthodontic treatment lasts from one to three years, with two years being the average. It’s important, however, that children be screened no later than age seven for Dr. Omar to assess what the best age for treatment is.
Hope this helps! Give us a call if you have any questions about your child’s treatment!

Who benefits from braces?

Braces aren’t just for pre-adolescents and teenagers anymore! Dr. Omar will tell you that anyone, at any age, can benefit from orthodontic treatment, whether it’s correcting a problem not treated in your younger years, or catching a problem early.

To ensure the best overall treatment, the American Association of Orthodontists, or AAO, recommends that children receive an orthodontic consultation as early as age seven. If a problem is evident, taking action early can spare a lot of treatment and expense down the road.

If you never received orthodontic treatment when you were young, don’t worry! You’re never too old for a beautiful smile. Set up an appointment for a consultation and find out how adult orthodontics will transform your smile, as well as your life!

Ive only known Dr Omar for a couple of months but I feel very safe during appointments. She's very gentle with my teeth. Her assistant Glenda is always in a happy mood. I highly recommend Dr Omar as an orthodontist. ~ Ruperto H.

I had a hard time finding the place. I called the front desk which she then gave be a very good direction. They greeted us at the front door and had a big smile on their face, Doctor Anisa Omar and her assistant knew exactly what they were doing. They were very professional and friendly. Doctor Anisa Omar went through every detail to make us understand what needed to be done. I would recommend anybody to their service.
