A healthy bite and a great smile are as important at age 70, as at age 7. Even though adults are no longer growing, they can also enjoy improvements that come from orthodontic treatment. Especially children from ages 7-10 can benefit from early preventative orthodontic measures, such as the removal of certain problematic baby teeth, or the insertion of a space maintainer.
