All children should get an orthodontic checkup by Age 7.
Our doctors and the American Association of Orthodontists recommend all children should see an orthodontist by this age because the first set of permanent molars and incisors have usually erupted. This is the ideal time to evaluate your child’s tooth relationships and facial pattern to check for proper balance, symmetry and growth. This evaluation may reveal that development is fine and early treatment is not needed. Or, our doctors may identify a developing problem but recommend monitoring your child’s growth and development, and then, if indicated, begin treatment at the appropriate time. In other cases, our doctors might find a problem that can benefit from early treatment.
Phase One Treatment
If early treatment is indicated, our doctors will recommend a Phase One plan to help guide the growth of the jaws and incoming permanent teeth. Phase One treatment may prevent or intercept more serious problems from developing and may make treatment at a later age shorter and less complicated. In some cases, our doctors will be able to achieve results that may not be possible once the face and jaws have finished growing.
We can also help regulate the width of the dental arches, create space for permanent teeth, avoid the need for permanent teeth extractions, reduce the likelihood of impacted teeth, correct thumb sucking, and eliminate abnormal swallowing or speech problems. Common Phase One treatments may include partial braces, expanders, space maintainers, headgears, or retainers.
Rest Period
After Phase One treatment is completed, there is usually a rest period when the remaining permanent teeth are allowed to erupt. Our doctors will continue to monitor your child’s dental and jaw development during periodic recall observation appointments. The teeth are still not in their final positions, as this will be determined and accomplished in the second phase of treatment.
