By age 7, children have developed enough that any orthodontic problems can be diagnosed and a treatment plan created. Our orthodontists will be able to determine whether or not your child needs early treatment or when regular orthodontic treatment should begin.
Not necessarily. Diagnosing an orthodontic problem at this age does not always mean that your child will begin treatment right away. Our orthodontists will evaluate your child’s teeth, mouth and jaws to determine how they are growing and developing. Depending on the results of this evaluation, our orthodontists will recommend what type of treatment is needed and when that treatment should begin. We will review all treatment options with you so you can make an informed decision regarding your child’s care.
Our orthodontists will perform an oral examination and will analyze your child’s bite, oral musculature and bone structure. X-rays will also be taken, and we will discuss your child’s oral habits with you.
Once you are in the recall club, you’ll be seen on a yearly basis to monitor the growth of the upper and lower jaw and the eruption pattern of the permanent teeth.
