The American Association of Orthodontists and our specialist, Dr. Pooja Shah, recommend an initial orthodontic screening around the age of 7. By this age, the first permanent molars have typically erupted, allowing the orthodontist to identify potential bone growth discrepancies and crowded alignments early, enabling preventive interceptive treatments.
Invisible aligners are completely transparent, thin thermoformed plastic trays that fit snugly over your teeth. They are removable, allowing you to eat, brush, and floss normally, and are virtually invisible. Traditional braces use metal/ceramic brackets bonded to teeth and connected by wires. Aligners are perfect for aesthetic conscious professionals, while braces are sometimes required for complex skeletal bite changes.
