Is Your Child Showing Signs They May Need Orthodontic Treatment?
Many parents think braces are only for teenagers, but some orthodontic concerns can appear much earlier.
Common signs to watch for include:
✔ Crowded or crooked teeth
✔ Early or late loss of baby teeth
✔ Difficulty biting or chewing
✔ Mouth breathing
✔ Thumb sucking or pacifier habits beyond age 4
✔ Teeth that don't meet properly
✔ Protruding teeth
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a child's first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. Early evaluations help identify developing issues and can make future treatment simpler and more effective.
