We recommend your child get an orthodontic evaluation at age 7. Here’s why. Early treatment can prevent more serious problems from developing and may shorten and simplify treatment later. By splitting treatment into two phases, Dr. Jones can achieve results that may not be possible once your child’s face and jaws have finished growing, usually by the time all permanent teeth have erupted. Schedule an evaluation with Dr. Jones and discover what early interceptive treatment can do for your child.
