How can I tell if my child needs orthodontic treatment? When is the best time to schedule an initial consultation for my child?
We recommend that you bring your child into the orthodontist when your child is 7 years old. Though you can bring your child in at an earlier age, it is usually difficult to know if they will need orthodontic treatment until the permanent teeth start coming in. At this time, the orthodontist will evaluate your child and, if necessary, recommend appropriate steps to help avoid more involved treatment later on.
