You may be wondering the best age to bring your child to see an orthodontist. Orthodontic exams are recommended when a child turns age 7. This age does not mean your child is getting braces, but rather this exam allows orthodontist Dr. McDade, to assess any potential obstacles to your child’s growth and development. Treatment at an early age can be more minimally invasive, which in the long run can save your child time in treatment, save permanent teeth from being extracted, and even help avoid future jaw surgery. No need to worry if your child is over the age of 7, either! You can still schedule their evaluation.
Call 805.485.3200 today to schedule your child’s McDade Smile Consultation today. Orthodontist Dr. McDade will evaluate your child’s smile and determine if treatment will be needed and, if so, when braces and orthodontic treatment should start.
