When to begin Orthodontic treatment at nib Sydney?
The best timing for orthodontic treatment at nib Dental Care, located in the heart of Sydney, depends on your age and most importantly, your specific diagnosis, needs and goals.
For Children:
The Australian Association of Orthodontists recommends visiting nib Sydney from age 8 for an initial assessment.
Early intervention and treatment are beneficial because children aged 8 to around 10 years old still have a mix of permanent and primary teeth.
This timing allows orthodontists the best conditions to correct issues while the jaw is still developing.
For Teenagers:
The ideal teen time for comprehensive orthodontic treatment is between the ages of 12 to around 17.
In most circumstances by the age of 12, all the adult teeth have erupted and are in their designated place.
This allows any problems like gaps, crooked teeth, or bite issues to be detected and addressed.
For Adults:
Orthodontic treatment can be successful at any age, with nib Dental Care Sydney CBD offering adult-specific options like clear aligners and cosmetic braces.
The most important step is scheduling an initial consultation with a nib Sydney qualified orthodontist who can assess your individual needs and recommend a plan and treatment schedule.
You’re never too old for braces
There is no magic age for getting braces or aligners or for that matter, any orthodontic treatment. Believe it or not, mega movie star Tom Cruise once walked the red carpet to the premiere of his hit film ‘Minority Report’ sporting ceramic braces. At the time, Tom was in his late thirties and one of the biggest celebrities on the planet.
The key message is simple; you can restore your confidence and start anew at any age. You don’t need to be a Hollywood star like Tom to benefit. Get the expert care from nib Dental Sydney and you’ll be surprised by the life-changing impact of quality orthodontic work. Though, having Tom Cruises pay packet could be beneficial to pay the dental bills.
If you have nib First Choice Dental or other private health insurance, make sure you check with your provider on what orthodontic treatment you may be covered for.

Before you begin any treatment, your orthodontist at nib Sydney will conduct a thorough oral and facial examination. The initial consultation plan will then move on to x-rays, bite impressions, or a facial scan to identify your exact orthodontic needs.
Beyond enhancing your smile and boosting confidence, orthodontic treatment can help reduce the risk of tooth decay, gum disease, and jaw issues that come with misaligned teeth.
