Orthodontics for Kids

Orthodontic treatment can help correct misaligned teeth and jaws. Knowing when to start treatment is essential for optimal results.

Signs Your Child Needs Orthodontics

Look for signs such as difficulty chewing, crowded teeth, or thumb-sucking. Early evaluation can lead to better outcomes.

Age for First Evaluation

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children have their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. This allows for early intervention if necessary.
