    Early orthodontic evaluation between ages 6-7 provides the opportunity for timely detection and treatment of orthodontic issues to guide proper growth and development and prevent future problems. Beginning treatment during this optimal period ensures the best results with the least time and expense. At age 7, an orthodontist can properly evaluate tooth relationships as the first adult molars have erupted. Interceptive treatment during this time can create space for teeth, influence jaw growth, reduce risks of trauma and preserve space. Untreated malocclusions can result in tooth decay, gum disease, chipping, crossbites, open bites and speech issues, so orthodontic treatment is important for overall dental and facial health.

    What are the benefits of early


    orthodontic evaluation?
    Early evaluation provides both timely detection of problems and greater opportunity
    for more effective treatment. Prudent intervention guides growth and development,
    preventing serious problems later. When orthodontic intervention is not necessary,
    an orthodontist can carefully monitor growth and development and begin treatment
    When is the best time to begin
    orthodontics?
    Though an orthodontist can enhance a smile at any age, there is an optimal time
    period to begin treatment. Beginning treatment at this time ensures the greatest
    result and the least amount of time and expense. The American Association of
    Orthodontists recommends that the initial orthodontic evaluation should occur at
    the first sign of orthodontic problems or no later than age 7. At this early age,
    Why is age 7 considered the optimal
    time for screening?
    By the age of 7, the first adult molars erupt, establishing the back bite. During this
    time, an orthodontist can evaluate front-to-back and side-to-side tooth
    relationships. For example, the presence of erupting incisors can indicate possible
    overbite, open bite, crowding or gummy smiles. Timely screening increases the

    Creating facial symmetry through influencing jaw growth
    Reducing the risk of trauma to protruding front teeth

    Are you a candidate for orthodontic
    treatment?
    Orthodontics is not merely for improving the aesthetics of the smile; orthodontic
    treatment improves bad bites (malocclusions). Malocclusions occur as a result of
    Why should malocclusions be treated?
    According to studies by the American Association of Orthodontists, untreated
    malocclusions can result in a variety of problems. Crowded teeth are more difficult
    to properly brush and floss, which may contribute to tooth decay and/or gum
    disease. Protruding teeth are more susceptible to accidental chipping. Crossbites
    can result in unfavorable growth and uneven tooth wear. Openbites can result in
    tongue-thrusting habits and speech impediments. Ultimately, orthodontics does
    more than make a pretty smile it creates a healthier you.
