Braces for Teenagers in Castle

Getting the timing right in the teenage years pays off for years afterwards. Jaw growth is still active, adult teeth are in place, and the NHS pathway is accessible for eligible young people. Getting the timing and treatment type right makes a real difference to outcomes.

Timing — When Should Teenagers Start?

The ideal age for most treatment is 11–14 — after most adult teeth have erupted but while jaw growth is still active. That growth lets orthodontists guide teeth more efficiently and, in some cases, use it to correct bite problems that would need more invasive treatment in an adult.
