According to the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO), your child should get a checkup at the first sign of an orthodontic problem. Your child’s initial visit should happen by the time they turn 7. However, we understand that life can sometimes get in the way. The sooner you get your child scheduled with our orthodontists, the better. You can also request an appointment to find out if your child has any oral developmental problems that require orthodontic treatment.
