Orthodontic Evaluation

What is it?

Your child's first orthodontic visit is a simple, stress-free evaluation. The orthodontist will examine their teeth, jaw, and bite to check how everything is developing. They will also ask about habits like thumb-sucking or tongue thrusting, which can affect tooth alignment.

Comfort and safety

An orthodontic evaluation is a safe, non-invasive, and informative process typically recommended for children by age 7 to monitor dental development, jaw growth, and alignment. Designed to be comfortable, these initial assessments use modern, gentle techniques to identify potential issues—such as crowding, crossbites, or thumb-sucking habits—early enough to prevent more complex, painful, or costly treatment later. 

Frequently asked questions

When should my child see an orthodontist?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends no later than age 7, as this is when the first permanent teeth emerge.
