If your child is approaching the age of seven, it’s time to make an appointment for an initial exam. The American Association of Orthodontists has recommended that the proper age for a child’s first visit to the orthodontist is no later than seven years of age. Star Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry strongly encourage this practice.

TWO-PHASE TREATMENT

Some orthodontic problems such as severe crowding or improper jaw alignment are best treated at an early age while baby teeth are still present and jaw growth can be guided and modified.  When early treatment (also called “phase one treatment”) is necessary, we have very specific goals which are generally reached in 9 – 18 months.  By correcting certain problems early we are often able to avoid the extraction of permanent teeth or even jaw surgery.  Most often, after phase one treatment there is a rest period followed by a second phase of treatment when all the permanent teeth have erupted.

ADULT TREATMENT

On average, one of every four to five orthodontic patients is an adult.  Generally speaking, you are never too old for treatment.  At any age, eligibility for treatment simply requires healthy teeth and gums.
