Early Treatment

For children between 7 and 12 years old, dental problems related to jaw growth tend to get worse with time.

​The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an initial examination by an orthodontist at the age of 7. At this age, children benefit from appliances which balance the relationship between the upper and lower jaws and develop room for erupting permanent teeth.
