When Should Your Child See an Orthodontist?
Ideally, every child should receive an orthodontic evaluation around the age of seven, which is when the baby teeth should be falling out and the adult teeth are on their way. This allows the dentist to spot existing issues as well as signs that others may occur in the future to determine if treatment is necessary. If your child is younger or older than seven, you should still bring them in if you notice they have obviously crooked, crowded, or gapped teeth or a bite that doesn’t come together evenly.
Traditional Braces
Braces have changed a lot since you were a child! While they still use a system of metal brackets and wires to move the teeth, they are now smaller and more comfortable than in the past. Braces are great for children not only because they are durable and affordable, but because they are affixed to the teeth, it’s impossible for a child to “forget” their braces. They can be used to reliably fix simple and complex issues alike, plus our team can adjust them over time so they perfectly suit a child’s needs.
