When should my child see an orthodontist?

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that parents schedule their child’s first orthodontic visit by age 7. It’s around this time that their little smiles have a mix of baby and permanent teeth, and because their jaws are still developing, it’s important to monitor how adult teeth come in.

Without pediatric dental monitoring, crowding and other potential problems may make orthodontic treatment more challenging later in life.

What is Orthodontic Growth Monitoring?

As your little one grows, your Jordan Orthodontics care team can help watch for orthodontic issues before they become more serious, making the work of orthodontics in their later years a lot easier. For example, we’ll monitor:

Potential cross-bite and open bite development
Obstructive breathing issues—is your child a mouth breather?
Position of baby and permanent teeth
Dental overcrowding or spacing which could hinder or affect permanent tooth development or position

How permanent teeth come in
Teeth at risk for injury or decay due to protrusion or overcrowding
Harmful habits that may cause orthodontic problems (like thumb sucking)
Oral hygiene and overall dental health
A balanced facial appearance
