Hi! Did you know that the best age to bring your child to the orthodontist is age seven?
I know what you're thinking—that young? You want to put braces on my precious little princess? On my handsome little stud muffin?
Of course we don't!
But that first visit is super important. The purpose of that visit is to check the eruption path of the permanent teeth, watch for any immediate or irreversible damage, and to get to know your child.
We’ll let you know if there’s anything to watch out for, if any conservative treatment might help, and we’ll help you plan for the future.
Because we love it when a good plan comes together.
