When does my child need braces?

Depends on how old the child is. I would say one thing to look out for is hygiene. If your child has really good brushing, their teeth are clean, every time they go for scaling their dentist is not saying “oh you have plaque” that kind of thing, then I would say yes they can probably go for it. But it depends on your child and your dentist will probably advise you because they will know your child since they have been seeing you for a very long time and they will know when you should do braces.
