Ortho for Children and Teens

Age 7: A Year to Remember

An important time... Milestones are passing by quickly... Reading... School... Friendships... Increasing awareness of one's appearance... These early years are deeply impressionable in creating the future of a child.

The American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) recommends that all children be seen by an orthodontist by the age of 7, unless a problem is detected earlier. Click here to transfer to the AAO Site to learn more.

Your Child deserves a worry-free future.

Left untreated, orthodontic problems have the serious potential to become physically more complicated and emotionally devastating.

It is better to be safe now rather than sorry in the future.

Contrary to popular understanding, you do not need to wait for your family dentist to recognize an orthodontic problem and refer your child for an appointment. A parent or Patient can self-refer.

Orthodontic evaluation provided by a board-certified orthodontist should be initiated at age seven. The primary benefit of early consultation is the opportunity to monitor the development or your child's teeth in order to maximize treatment option availability. Awareness and prevention today leads to increased options and reduced investment tomorrow.
