Healthy Smiles For Life
Many orthodontic problems can be detected and treated at an early age, reducing the need for extensive treatment later on. An early assessment is a great way to check if your childโs teeth are on track to a beautiful and healthy smile.
The world’s leading orthodontic associations recommend that all children have an orthodontic assessment by 7 years of age. This is because numerous orthodontic problems can be diagnosed at an early age:
- Crowding
- Habits
- Impacting teeth
- Trauma
- Tooth wear
- Constricted upper jaw
- Jaw alignment
If an orthodontic problem can be treated early, it may reduce the need for lengthy and complex treatment later on. Early diagnosis and treatment can result in improved long-term health and appearance and improved self-esteem.
