What is the correct age for braces?

Published on: July 20, 2026

The right age for braces treatment depends on how your teeth and jaws are developing. In most cases:

• An orthodontic evaluation is recommended around age 7.
• Active braces treatment usually begins between 10 and 14 years.
• Adults can also benefit from braces for improved alignment and bite correction.
• Early assessment helps identify problems before they become more complex.

The best time for braces is different for everyone and should be decided after a professional evaluation.
