Early Growth Guidance

Why the AAO Recommends a Checkup by Age 7

By age 7, a child has a mix of baby teeth and adult teeth, allowing orthodontists to catch potential jaw and bite issues before they become complex problems.

Benefits of Interceptive Treatment

Early treatment (Phase 1) works with your child’s natural growth spurts to achieve optimal facial symmetry and jaw expansion.

  • Guides jaw growth for proper facial structure
  • Creates room for crowded, emerging adult teeth
  • Fixes thumb-sucking and tongue-thrust habits
  • Reduces the need to extract permanent teeth later
  • Simplifies future comprehensive treatment (Phase 2)

Frequently Asked Questions

The American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) recommends that every child have their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. At this stage, early jaw problems and crowding can be identified and corrected before permanent teeth fully erupt.
Phase 1 prepares the jaw and creates necessary space for permanent teeth to erupt properly. While many children still require Phase 2 (full braces or aligners) in their teen years, Phase 1 makes Phase 2 significantly shorter, easier, and less invasive.
Putting braces on does not hurt at all. Your child may feel mild soreness or pressure for a few days after adjustments as teeth begin moving. Over-the-counter pain relievers and soft foods easily keep them comfortable.
Absolutely. Children with braces can participate in all sports and play wind or brass instruments. We recommend wearing a custom orthodontic mouthguard during sports to protect their teeth and lips.
Treatment costs vary based on your child's specific alignment needs and treatment duration. We offer free consultations, accept dental insurance, and provide flexible 0% interest monthly payment options.
