Orthodontic FAQ
Report
The American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) recommends an orthodontic screening for children by the age of 7 years.
At age 7 the teeth and jaws are developed enough so that the dentist or orthodontist can see if there will be any serious bite problems in the future.
Most of the time treatment is not necessary at age 7, but it gives the parents and dentist time to watch the development of the patient and decide on the best mode of treatment.
When you have time on your side you can plan ahead and prevent the formation of serious problems.

Treatment
Report
It is never too late to begin orthodontic treatment, but sometimes early treatment is better than late treatment.
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends the first orthodontic screening by the age of 7 years old.
Why is this screening so important?
This early screening allows the orthodontist to get baseline information about your child's growth and development.
This information is gathered and often is not followed by early treatment, but is used to monitor your child's growth patterns over time.
