The American Association of Orthodontics recommends a child see an orthodontist by the age of 7. While most 7-year-olds do not require treatment, it is a great time to assess what orthodontic problems your child may have in the future and to address any growth concerns that may be present. We evaluate your child’s jaw growth and emerging teeth.
Early evaluation helps identify any issues early, allowing for treatment at the optimal time. Often, catching problems early can prevent longer treatments down the road.
