We're often asked by parents when they should bring their child in for their first orthodontic assessment.
We recommend bringing your child in for their first orthodontic consultation around age 7 even if there are no visible issues. Early assessment means we can guide your child’s smile in the right direction.
At this early stage, we’re not just checking teeth. We’re also assessing:
✅ Early signs of crowding or bite problems
✅️ Bite and jaw development
✅ Crowding or spacing issues
✅ Airway and breathing concerns (like mouth breathing, snoring, or sleep disturbances)
✨ The best way to get started is to book your child in for a general check-up. From there, we can guide you on whether an orthodontic consult is recommended.
📅 Book your child’s general check up today and give them the best chance for a confident, healthy smile!
