Orthodontic treatment for children typically begins between the ages of 9 and 14. At this time they are generally in the mid to late mixed dentition stage. This means they have a mix of permanent front teeth, permanent molars, and some baby teeth.
The benefit of placing braces at this stage is that the orthodontist can improve the alignment of permanent front teeth, guide the incoming new adult teeth into position, and utilize the child’s growth and development to best advantage.
At the office of Yummy Dental and Orthodontics, we speak English and Korean to help as many patients as possible.
All families are welcome at our dental office, and we accept most insurance plans. We would love to be your new dentist.
