We Welcome Young Patients As Early As Six Years Old for Early Dental Treatment
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children have their first orthodontic evaluation by age seven. At this stage, a mix of baby teeth and permanent teeth allows orthodontists to detect potential problems such as overcrowding, bite misalignment, and jaw growth irregularities. Addressing these issues early can guide proper tooth development and reduce the need for extensive treatments later on.
With a gentle and friendly approach, our orthodontic team ensures your child feels at ease throughout their treatment journey, making dental visits a positive and stress-free experience.
Does Your Child Need to See an Orthodontist?
Not all children require early orthodontic treatment, but certain signs indicate that a consultation with an orthodontist may be beneficial. If your child experiences early or late loss of baby teeth, difficulty chewing or biting, or continues thumb sucking beyond age five, these may be warning signs. Additionally, crowded, misplaced, or protruding teeth, jaw shifting or clicking sounds, and habitual mouth breathing can indicate underlying orthodontic concerns. If you notice any of these issues, an early evaluation can help determine if your child would benefit from orthodontic treatment. Dr. Mark creates personalized treatment plans tailored to your child’s needs, ensuring optimal oral health and development.
The Benefits of Early Intervention Braces
Starting orthodontic treatment at an early age offers numerous benefits for your child’s dental health. Early braces help guide proper jaw and teeth development, preventing severe alignment issues and reducing the risk of major orthodontic complications. By addressing concerns proactively, early intervention can eliminate the need for tooth extractions and jaw surgery later in life. Additionally, correcting misaligned teeth early can improve speech patterns, boost self-esteem, and simplify future orthodontic treatments, making them shorter and less complex.
