FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

General

At what age should I schedule an appointment for an orthodontic screening?

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an orthodontic screening at age 7. For most children, several permanent teeth have erupted by this age, allowing the orthodontist to effectively evaluate the patient’s orthodontic condition.

Will my teeth straighten out as I grow and get older?

No, they will not. The space available for the front teeth does not increase as you grow. In most people, after the permanent molars erupt, the space available for the front teeth decreases with age.

Is it too late for me to have braces as an adult?

No patient is “too old” to wear braces! A surprising percentage of our patients are adults. In fact, 25 percent of all orthodontic patients are adults. Health and happiness are vitally important to adults, and orthodontic treatment can increase your self-esteem at any age!

How often will I have an appointment?

Most patients are seen every 6-8 weeks.

ABO Certified Orthodontist
in Commerce, GA


What Is ABO Certification?

‍The American Board of Orthodontics (ABO) certification is the highest level of achievement in the field of orthodontics. It is a voluntary credential that goes above and beyond the basic educational and licensing requirements to become an orthodontist.

To become board certified, an orthodontist must:

- Pass a comprehensive written examination
- Present detailed case reports for clinical evaluation
- Demonstrate superior treatment planning and results
- Commit to ongoing education and periodic recertification

‍Why Does ABO Certification Matter?

‍When you choose a board-certified orthodontist, you’re choosing someone who:

- Is held to the highest clinical and ethical standards
- Has proven their skill through in-depth case evaluations
- Is dedicated to continued learning and improvement
- Uses evidence-based techniques for optimal outcomes

Only about 1 in 3 orthodontists in the United States have earned this certification.
