When Do I Take My Child to the Orthodontist?
Parents often wonder when to schedule their child's first orthodontic visit. It is recommended that children have their first orthodontic evaluation at age seven when they have a mix of baby teeth and permanent teeth. This allows orthodontists to assess the child's dental development and identify any potential issues early on. Early evaluation doesn't always mean early treatment, but it can help anticipate future orthodontic needs and plan for optimal timing.
