A look at a few decades-old high school yearbooks is bound to show you a lot of smiles lined with protruding metal braces. For sure, you’re not going to observe the same thing today, because modern technology has allowed for more discreet versions of these metal orthodontic appliances. Not to mention children these days start to wear braces at a much younger age—some as young as 7. The American Association of Orthodontics (AAO) advises parents to have their children undergo orthodontic screening at age 7. This is generally the age when permanent teeth begin to erupt, it’s also when orthodontic problems start to manifest themselves. Furthermore, the child’s bones are still developing at this age, so it will be the perfect time to evaluate and align his teeth.
