Braces for Children
Why Should Your Child See an Orthodontist?
Not every child needs orthodontic treatment, but for those who do, the benefits are significant. A properly aligned smile is easier to clean, less prone to injury, and can even improve speech, eating, and breathing.
We recommend bringing your child in for an orthodontic evaluation around age seven. At this stage, Dr. Oberheim can identify potential issues early, often preventing them from becoming more complex later. Early detection not only helps safeguard your child’s smile but can also reduce the need for extensive treatment during their teenage years, saving you both time and money!
To ensure your child’s smile stays healthy, we recommend scheduling an orthodontic consultation around age seven – just as the American Association of Orthodontists suggests! Early evaluations can help catch and address potential orthodontic concerns before they develop into bigger issues.
