The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that your child get an orthodontic check-up no later than age 7. This will allow your orthodontist to identify any problems that require early treatment. By this age, your child’s teeth have developed enough to where subtle problems can be diagnosed. Treating these problems early on can help to guide proper jaw growth, correct harmful oral habits, direct permanent teeth into a more favorable position and help to avoid the extraction of healthy permanent teeth.
Some things you can look for in your child that may indicate that a trip to the orthodontist is necessary are: early or late loss of baby teeth, difficulty in chewing or biting, breathing through the mouth, thumb or finger sucking, crowded or blocked-out teeth, jaws that are too far forward or too far back, protruding teeth or an unbalanced facial appearance.
