How do I know if my child needs braces?

Knowing if your child needs braces begins with an orthodontic evaluation, which is beneficial to have around age seven. This early assessment allows for the timely identification of any jaw or teeth alignment issues.

Advantages of an Early Orthodontic Evaluation

  • Detects alignment issues before they become more complex
  • Allows for early intervention, which can minimize future orthodontic work
  • May reduce overall treatment time for full orthodontics

Early Intervention and Treatment

Early intervention, when necessary, can address developmental concerns as your child grows, which may reduce the need for more extensive orthodontic treatments later on. Using appliances like space maintainers, palatal expanders, and retainers, we can guide your child's jaw development and improve the appearance and function of their teeth.
