Braces for Kids

WHAT AGE IS

BEST TO START Braces

In accordance with the American Association of Orthodontists, we recommend that all children visit an orthodontist at age 7.

While most children won’t begin braces this early, this visit allows Dr. Vaccariello to check for rare dental or jaw issues that may require early treatment. Our practice is dedicated to providing the highest quality braces for kids in the most comfortable and efficient way possible. If Dr. Vaccariello determines your child isn’t ready for braces yet, they’ll be scheduled for periodic observation visits at no charge until it’s the right time to begin treatment.
