When Is the Right Time for Your Child’s Braces? (Cincinnati Parent’s Guide)

Not sure when your child should see an orthodontist? Most kids benefit from a check-up by age 7, even if braces aren’t needed right away. 

Here’s what you should know:

Early Evaluation (Ages 7–8)

  • Catch small problems before they become big ones
  • Track jaw growth and development
  • See if early intervention could help
  • Build a long-term treatment game plan

Phase 1 Treatment (Ages 8–11)

Early treatment might be needed if your child has:

  • Crowded or spaced-out teeth
  • Jaw development issues
  • Thumb sucking or similar habits
  • Breathing or airway concerns

Benefits include:

  • Preventing more serious issues later
  • Guiding jaw growth while they’re still growing
  • Potentially shorter treatment time later on
  • Laying the foundation for a healthy smile

Comprehensive Treatment (Ages 11–14)

Once permanent teeth come in, this is prime time for braces:

  • Perfect for traditional braces or clear aligners
  • Works with natural growth spurts
  • Fixes bite alignment, spacing, and overall smile

Teens & Adults

Worried it’s too late? It’s not. We treat teens and adults too. It’s never too late for a confident smile.

What to Ask Your Child’s Orthodontist

Choosing the right care starts with the right questions. Here’s what to ask at your free consultation:

Does my child need early treatment or can we wait?

We’ll assess their jaw growth, bite, and any early signs of issues and get your child started at just the right time.

What options are best for their age?

Different treatment options work better for different age groups. For younger children, early intervention might focus on guiding jaw growth, while teens might benefit from traditional braces or clear aligners. Dr. Haverkos will explain which options are most appropriate for your child’s specific needs and developmental stage.

What will insurance cover?

We’ll verify your benefits and explain what you’ll pay out-of-pocket.

How long will treatment take?

Most kids’ treatment lasts 12–24 months, but it depends on the case.

How do we care for braces or aligners?

We’ll walk you through care tips, food rules, and how to manage any discomfort.
