When is the best time to start orthodontic treatment?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends seven years of age as a good time for your child’s first orthodontic examination. At this early age conditions may be found that can be corrected by interceptive measures. This often will lessen or eliminate the need for help at an older age. Please don’t wait until your child has lost all of his or her baby teeth. There are definite advantages to correcting many problems at an early age. Waiting until all baby teeth are lost can often complicate an otherwise fairly simple problem.
