Orthodontic treatment can be started at any age. Whether you are 60 or 16 years old it is never too late to start your journey towards a beautiful and healthy smile. Bronsky Orthodontics provides orthodontic care for adults, teenagers, and children throughout the New York City area. Quality orthodontics begin at a young age, which is why our Tribeca and Park Avenue orthodontists offer early treatment evaluations for your children.
According to the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO), all children should have an initial orthodontic evaluation by the age of seven. Although every child’s mouth is unique, this is typically the age at which children have enough permanent teeth for an accurate evaluation. At this point, your orthodontist can determine if your child will have sufficient room for permanent teeth and detect any orthodontic problems.
An early orthodontic evaluation can help your orthodontist catch misalignment and other orthodontic issues at a young age. If necessary, we can begin planning for treatment immediately. Early evaluation does not necessarily mean your child will receive treatment at a young age. On average, most people begin orthodontic treatment between ages 9-14. An early orthodontic evaluation, however, can help reduce the severity (and cost) of treatment that is put off until a later age.
Additional benefits to receiving early orthodontic treatment include the following:
While it is recommended that your child visits an orthodontist by age 7, certain symptoms and habits could indicate that your child needs to see an orthodontist sooner rather than later. Some symptoms of concern include…
While some of these may be simple habits, they can be indicative of or lead to orthodontic issues if not corrected. If you detect any of the above habits in your child, schedule an appointment with your New York City Orthodontist.
A straighter, healthier smile for your child is only a phone call away.
