The truth is that there is not one perfect age to begin orthodontic treatment, but there is a right time! That time is determined by dental development and not chronological age.
However, each child is unique, and their teeth develop at different rates. We need to consider timing is crucial when treating problems such as a crossbite, crowded teeth, misaligned jaws, or damaging habits. The right timing for treatment of these issues is determined by the type of problem and the child’s stage of dental development.
At Labbe Family Orthodontics we follow the guidelines of The American Association of Orthodontics and recommend that you bring your child in for their first orthodontic exam around the age of seven. This will allow us to keep a closer eye on your child’s progression. If early treatment is necessary, we can optimize his or her treatment by getting started at just the right time.
