The Right Age for Orthodontics

We promise to tell you honestly if your child has not reached the ideal age for treatment.  The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that all children have a check-up with an orthodontic specialist no later than age 7 and even earlier, if your family dentist notices a problem.  Some orthodontic problems are easier to correct if treatment is early.  Many progressive treatments are now available for patients 6 to 9 years old that provide significant benefits, especially face and jaw irregularities.

Braces are often applied when most permanent teeth are in place, usually between the ages of 10 and 12.  Fortunately, most pre-teens consider braces "very cool".  Dr. McLendon did the pioneering research that made invisalign | teen® possible for teens the do not want traditional braces.   Read more

Can I get braces as an adult?

More than 35% of our patients are adults between the ages of 18 and 80.  New technology and materials like invisalign™ and fast action braces have resulted in braces that are barely noticeable and easy to wear.  Visits to the orthodontist will be less frequent and time in the office can be reduced to fit your busy schedule.
