Why Kids Should be Evaluated by an Orthodontist at 7 Years Old
When it comes to orthodontic evaluation and treatment for children, earlier is often better. In most children, an abnormal bite is identifiable by an orthodontist between the ages of 6 and 8 years old. Early treatment of certain oral conditions must begin at a young age in order to achieve the desired level of results, which may not be able to be realized if treatment is not begun until the child is older. By beginning orthodontic treatment while a child is still growing, your child can develop an attractive smile and optimal oral health. photo credits: freedigitalphotos.net
