For Children

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first orthodontic visit by age seven. Your child has a mix of baby and adult teeth at this stage, allowing us to catch and guide early issues before they become bigger problems.

Benefits of Early Treatment:

• Guides jaw growth for proper alignment
• Helps permanent teeth erupt in the right position
• Creates space for crowded teeth
• Can reduce the need for future extractions or surgery
• Helps correct habits like thumb-sucking or mouth breathing
• Supports better speech development

Signs Your Child Might Need an Orthodontic Check-Up:

• Early or late loss of baby teeth
• Difficulty chewing or biting
• Thumb or finger sucking
• Crowded, blocked, or misaligned teeth
• Mouth breathing or jaw clicking
• Misaligned bite or facial imbalance

A quick evaluation now can make a big difference later. Contact us to schedule your child’s orthodontic consultation—we’re here to help set them up for a lifetime of confident smiles.
