The American Association of Orthodontics recommends that every child receives an orthodontic evaluation by the age of 7. Although most children have few adult teeth at this age, there are many serious orthodontic issues that can be prevented or resolved through early treatment. Treatment around this age is usually focused on encouraging proper jaw growth and preventing traumatic injuries to the teeth. If your child does not require treatment at this time, we may recommend regular check ups to monitor the growth and development of the adult teeth.

Clear aligners are the best option for patients looking to straighten their teeth without requiring traditional braces. Through many years of research and advancement, clear aligners have become a great treatment option for many patients looking for a more aesthetic option to achieve their smile goals. Clear aligners are a more comfortable and convenient option for teens and adults with busy lifestyles. We may recommend clear aligner treatment over other options for more minor cases.
