Braces are popular orthodontic appliances used to shift teeth in the right position, thereby correcting malocclusions, crowded teeth, crooked teeth, and gapped teeth. They are of different kinds including metallic braces, lingual braces, self-ligating braces, ceramic braces, and clear aligners.

As per Best Dentist for Children in Delhi, Dr. Ravneet Kaur, braces are more likely to be spot on a kid's or teenager's smile than on an adult's. However, even young adults can get braces. If you suspect a need for braces but don’t know about the ideal time to get braces, read on to learn about it.

Dr. Ravneet Kaur, orthodontist can help determine the best time for the patient to get braces and even the appropriate braces type after assessing the patient’s smile. The factors considered while deciding the right time for getting braces include the scope of the patient's needs and whether all of the permanent teeth have erupted.

Generally, no one should feel of being too old to get braces, even adults can consider braces. Still, the best time to think of getting braces is between 9 and 14 years. That’s because, by this age, an individual has more malleable/developing jaws and facial bones, and all the adult, permanent teeth have erupted.

Their soft jawbone tissues are still quite responsive to braces treatment. Braces can be effective for adults just like that for teenagers, but the desired results are achieved in a longer time than they would at a younger age. It’s harder for adult braces to quickly move teeth into the proper position as the adults’ jaws and/or teeth have settled into the misaligned positions.
