With braces in high school yearbooks today, ever thought about why you don’t see many seniors? From the 1960s or '70s, look at yearbook or prom pictures and you'll see many “tin grins”. Today, one does not see them often. At a much earlier age, kids today undergo orthodontic care by Pflugerville Orthodontist and before their junior year when most yearbook and prom photos are taken, the treatment is usually completed. As early as age 7 or younger, some patients, with special problems, begin orthodontic treatment.
All children receive an orthodontic evaluation by age 7as recommended by the American Association of Orthodontics (AAO). Most orthodontic problems become apparent to general dentists and parents when the permanent teeth begin to erupt. The optimum time to determine the best course of treatment and timing to begin, if Pflugerville orthodontics treatment is indicated is when the teeth and jaws are still growing.
At Get It Straight, when majority of their permanent teeth are erupted, most orthodontic patients are treated. Some, however, due to allergies or enlarged tonsils and adenoids, treatment begins early to encourage proper eruption of teeth and development of jaws that may be affected by breathing problems and hereditary factors.
