A Santa Clarita Orthodontist discusses the importance of children getting early treatment to reduce, and sometimes, prevent certain teeth and jaw issues that could become more serious in the future if left untreated.
Embrace Your Smile Orthodontics in Santa Clarita follow the American Association of Orthodontists’ recommendation that children visit an orthodontist at the first sign of an orthodontic problem, and no later than age 7.
By the age of 7, a child should have enough permanent teeth to determine if any orthodontic problem exists or is developing.
There could be certain bite problems emerging, so treating and correcting the growth of the jaw is the main goal. Also, early treatment can help make room for their permanent teeth to come in properly, which can lessen the chance of more tooth extractions in the future.

“Some orthodontic conditions that develop at a young age can have long-term, permanent effects if not treated,” said officials at Embrace Your Smile.
Embrace Your Smile will perform a complimentary exam to determine what your child needs and discuss any options. Most of the time, it is determined that the patient’s teeth will need to be monitored as they are developing.
There are times where early treatment isn’t necessary, but anything that can be detected early could mean that less invasive methods may be used while the child is young and still growing.
“Once the face and jaws are fully formed, additional treatment may be necessary.”
The easiest way to find out if your child needs any early orthodontic treatment is to schedule a complimentary new patient exam at Embrace Your Smile.
