The best age to start interceptive orthodontic treatment is whenever your child needs it! It’s recommended that children receive their first orthodontic evaluation at the age of five; if they don’t need interceptive orthodontic treatment at this time, we will schedule regular appointments to monitor their development so we’re able to begin treatment if or when it is needed. Not all children require interceptive orthodontics, but for those who do, it’s important to take a proactive approach.
