Why Age 7?
By age 7, your child has enough permanent teeth for an orthodontist to evaluate their developing bite. This is the ideal time to identify potential issues.
Early evaluation doesn't mean early treatment. Most children don't need treatment at this age. But for those who do, early intervention can prevent bigger problems and reduce the need for more extensive treatment later.
The evaluation is free, quick, and could save your child years of treatment!
