my 11 year old son has goofy teeth would be able to have treatment now or should he wait

Q. I have an 11 year old son who has “goofy teeth”. He has not yet got all his adult teeth through, would he be able to have the 6 month braces treatment, or will he have to wait until all his adult teeth are through?

A. You need to wait until his adult teeth are through- but if you have any questions- then consult with your dentist. It is highly likely that he will be referred to an orthodontist anyway if his teeth are protruding. Good luck
