Parents are often wondering when should their child start orthodontic treatment? Indeed, straight teeth are less prone to decay and gum disease, every time your child come for a checkup, we will be evaluating his or her dental and skeletal developing pattern, at the same time we will also be teaching both the child and parents proper breathing and swallowing pattern, and also watch out for bad oral habit to be avoided. We often start fixed orthodontic treatment at around age of 7 when all four upper incisors and first molars have erupted, however oral habit correction can start much earlier. If you have concern regarding to your child’s orthodontic treatment please come visit us for a consultation! (click hear to learn more)
