What age do you have to be to get bracest?

There is no specific age requirement to get braces; treatment can begin as early as age 7 when a child's permanent teeth start to come in. However, many orthodontists recommend waiting until most of the adult teeth have emerged, typically around ages 10 to 14. Ultimately, the decision depends on individual dental needs and the orthodontist's assessment. Adult patients can also receive braces at any age.
