Many parents ask if their child will need “braces” (orthodontics) to have straight teeth. At Pediatric Dentistry, P.C., Dr. Johnson performs an orthodontic screening at each checkup appointment. However, there are two checkups when Dr. Johnson may specifically address your child’s orthodontic condition: when all front permanent teeth have erupted (8 years old), and when all permanent teeth have erupted (12-13 years old).
When should kids get braces?
