[quote=Anonymous][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]
My 16yo ds got braces last month, which he'll have for 18-24 months.[/quote]

My 15 year old just got Invisalign. He plays a sport where he can get elbowed in the face or have a ball hit his mouth so we went with Invisalign so he can take it off for games and practices. [/quote]
