What’s the best age to visit the orthodontist?

The American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) recommends that children first visit the
orthodontist around age 7. This is because at this age, many orthodontic problems are just
beginning to develop, and can be more easily corrected. However, every child is different,
and some may need to visit the orthodontist earlier or later than age 7. If you are concerned
about your child’s teeth, it is best to schedule a consultation with an orthodontist. They will
be able to tell you if treatment is necessary, and if so, when the best time for treatment would
be.
