Give your child the best chance of a straighter smile - early intervention is a proven way to fix early issues, decrease or eliminate future treatments, and create lasting results. And did you know that straight teeth can help protect your child from tooth decay, gingivitis, and sleep apnea as well?
We recommend scheduling their first orthodontic consultation around seven or eight years old. By this time, your child will have enough of their adult teeth for us to spot the early signs of any orthodontic issues.
Remember, a consultation doesn’t always mean treatment is needed. If that’s the case, we can at least start monitoring the growth of your child’s smile and intervene at the right time.
At Mattingly & Howell Orthodontics, we love what we do so you can trust that our team aims to ensure each child’s experience is an educational and pleasant one. When your child arrives for their initial orthodontic consultation, we will first make sure they feel comfortable. We will then ask your child about their oral hygiene habits and do a gentle exam of their teeth and jaws.
The goal of our assessment would be to spot potential issues so we can take preventive steps to reduce any major treatment in their teenage years.
Book a free no-obligation consultation so our friendly and talented team can help you see which treatment option would best benefit your child at the moment.
