[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s a good age for braces? My first daughter, now 15, had spacers for phase 1, but never went back for phase 2. Her teeth look great, despite the ortho saying she had a very complex case and a crossbite. Our dentist doesn’t see it- she has a beautiful smile, if slightly imperfect. On one side, a slightly turned tooth, but it is barely noticeable.

Younger daughter is turning 12 and also had spacer for phase 1. Ortho says her case is less complex. Last time we brought her in, they said wait. But she does have an overbite and more obviously looks like she needs braces. I’d rather get them done before high school. But maybe wait?

Most kids we know had braces in middle school but there are still tons who have them in HS>[/quote]

Most kids are done by about 7th grade now. It's very very rare to see a high school kid with braces IMO. My second child did phase 1 in 4th grade and my first only needed phase 2 and got them off in 7th grade.

One of my kids is going into 10th and I can think of several of his friends who still have braces or invisaligns. All boys though.[/quote]
I think that will be my son. Some kids have complex issues and need braces palate expanders starting at a young age. My dentist said that my son may need a quick round to straighten but to wait until all of his permanent teeth are in, for him that will be sometime in 7th or 8th grade. I never had braces which surprises people. I have one tooth that is slightly crooked but less so than many people I know who did wear braces (and lost their retainers)[/quote]
