Childhood is an ideal time to begin orthodontic treatment. The American Association of Orthodontists® recommends that children have their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. At this age, their dental development allows our experienced orthodontist to identify potential issues that may not be visible later. We encourage you to bring your child to Seven Hills Orthodontics for an early evaluation, as addressing orthodontic concerns early can help save time, money and effort in the future.
Advantages of Early Treatment
Early orthodontic care allows Dr. Carlos Bordador and our team to guide your child’s dental development while their teeth and jaw are still growing. By intervening early, we can prevent more severe issues that might require complex treatment later. Some of the key benefits of early orthodontic care include:
- Creating Space for Erupting Teeth: Early treatment can guide permanent teeth into their proper positions, reducing overcrowding.
- Preserving Space for Unerupted Teeth: By maintaining proper spacing, we can help ensure that all teeth erupt in alignment.
- Correcting Jaw Growth: Early intervention can promote balanced jaw growth, improving facial symmetry and function.
- Reducing the Need for Extractions: Addressing alignment issues early often minimizes the need for tooth extractions.
- Shortening Treatment Duration: Early care can simplify or reduce the length of future orthodontic treatments.
