Age of giving dental braces
Dr. Chandrima SantraDentist • 20 Years Exp.BDS, Post Graduate Diploma in Clinical Research, Certified Implantologist, Certified LASER dentist
The preferable age of giving dental braces is around twelve years as it takes advantage of the prepubertal growth spurt. Before that sometimes the teeth may look crooked but we call it ugly duckling stage which is a temporary transitional phase and so await till all the permanent teeth erupt. However sometimes braces can be given before in special cases like cross bite.
