What is the best age to schedule my childs first orthodontic screening?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an orthodontic screening at age seven. By this time, the six-year molars, as well as several permanent teeth have erupted, allowing us to effectively evaluate most potential orthodontic problems. Often times, no treatment is indicated, but Dr. Sands and Dr. Fotovat will monitor the growth and development of the patient and place them observation recall.
