The American Association of Orthodontists and Dr. Jennings recommend children see an orthodontist by age seven. By then, most children in Louisville and Mt. Washington have several permanent teeth that have erupted, letting Jennings Orthodontics evaluate their orthodontic needs.
Dr. Jennings can spot subtle problems with jaw growth and emerging teeth while some baby teeth are still present. That’s important because some orthodontic problems may be easier to correct if Dr. Jennings finds them early.
Most orthodontic patients begin active braces treatment at Jennings Orthodontics between ages 9 and 14.
