When should my child see an orthodontist?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that age 7 is an appropriate time for a child’s first examination by an orthodontic specialist. Early diagnosis and treatment by the orthodontist can help tooth eruption, guide facial growth, eliminate habits that can interfere with proper function and therefore, prevent more serious problems from occurring.
