If I notice these things how early can my children start braces?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that your child get an orthodontic check-up no later than age 7. Most orthodontic treatment begins between the ages of 9 and 14, however, by age 7, most children have a mix of adult and baby teeth. While your child's teeth may appear to be straight, there could be a problem that only an orthodontist can detect, such as subtle problems with jaw growth and emerging teeth while some baby teeth are still present. Your child's first consultation with Bhatia Orthodontics is complimentary. We will take an xray and photos to determine a treatment plan appropriate for your child.
