Does Your Child Need an Assessment?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that every child have an orthodontic assessment by age seven. While treatment at this stage may not be necessary, we can evaluate your child’s bite, jaw, and growth pattern. It’s essential to schedule an appointment if you notice the following:
- Losing baby teeth early
- Difficulty chewing or biting food
- Jaws that pop when opening and closing the mouth
- Crowded teeth or misaligned teeth that close abnormally
- Teeth that don’t touch
- Teeth and jaws that are not proportionate with the face
- Mouth breathing
- Finger or thumb sucking
Early screening can address oral health issues, including open bites, crossbites, and speech impediments. These problems can otherwise result in gum disease, headaches, jaw muscle pain, and more. If our orthodontist has concerns regarding your child’s teeth, we’ll recommend a treatment plan.
