Why should I get my kid checked out by an orthodontist by age 7?
Some orthodontic problems such as underbites, large over bites, severe crowding, severely protruded front teeth, and narrow jaws are much easier to correct at a younger age.These corrections usually gives the best results if treated between ages 7 and 12, while the jaw is still growing, and are sometimes referred to as “early intervention” or “Phase I”treatment. Even if you think your child won’t need this sort of treatment, it’s good to have the orthodontist check out the way that your child’s teeth and jaws are developing –if not visited certain problems needs to be corrected surgically once the growth has finished. Second not all problems are easily visible to the casual observer , so a good orthodontic consultation will definitely help you
