When should my child see an Orthodontist?
At what age should I bring my child for an orthodontic check up?
As a parent, you want the best for your child. That includes healthy teeth and a pleasing smile. For healthy smile that is good for life your child needs teeth and jaws that are properly aligned. While the American Dental Association recommends that a child visit the dentist by his or her first birthday, the American Association of Orthodontists recommends that your child gets a checkup with an orthodontist at the first recognition of an orthodontic problem, but no later than age 7.
