Question 1

When should my child see an orthodontist?

Accepted Answer

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an orthodontic consultation at age 7. By this age, most children have permanent teeth starting to surface allowing our doctors to evaluate a child's orthodontic condition. Early evaluation allows our doctors to identify missing permanent teeth, jaw growth, and habit problems that can be corrected if caught early. Our Rising Star program helps children avoid future problems and costly corrections.

Question 2

Does my family dentist have to schedule my appointment with an orthodontist?

Accepted Answer

Our orthodontists love dental referrals, but your dentist does not need to make the appointment. Most patients call us directly and mention the dentist who referred them. We always love to send a thank you note to dentists.
