Children (Early) Treatment

Happy child smiling with healthy teeth

Children Should Be Seen By An Orthodontist By Age 7

Both the American Dental Association and the American Association of Orthodontists recommend that all children have their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7.

Early visits allow orthodontists to monitor the growth of the jaw and recommend further orthodontic treatment if it becomes necessary. Not everybody needs early orthodontic treatment. Dr. Daly will evaluate every child to determine what is the best option.
