What Is The Ideal Age To See An Orthodontist?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends children be evaluated at age 7, or younger if a problem is noted.
This enables the orthodontist to guide your child's jaw and teeth during their most active growing stages.
Research has shown that facial development can be most affected between the ages of 7 and 11.
