Miami Lakes Pediatric Orthodontist Specialist in Orthodontics for Children
Even if a child is starting to show signs that they will need braces at an early age, our experience and national consensus agree that a child’s first orthodontic check-up should occur around the age of seven. The fact is that most kids will not need orthodontic treatment at such an early age if any at all. Still, it is an excellent idea to have a check-up with a Miami orthodontic specialist to find out if there are any areas of concern for your child’s teeth, jaw, bite, etc.
Soon after your child has moved from primary (“baby”) teeth into adult teeth, he or she may start to show signs. Several orthodontic issues can and should be addressed at an early age, such as:
- Underbites, overbites, cross bites, narrow jaw formation, thumb sucking, over jetting of teeth, etc.
- Some signs that your child may need orthodontic treatment would be problems with speech, misaligned jaw growth,
- At Lakes Orthodontics, we are quite experiencing in dealing with and addressing the needs of kids in need of braces.
We encourage parents to visit us for a free consultation around the age of seven. It is around this age that gaps and misaligned become more obvious. This is because as kids lose their baby teeth, there is often not enough space for larger permanent ones to take their space. It is also around this time when braces are the most effective.
So, whether it appears or you think that your child needs pediatric orthodontic treatment, the easiest way to find out is to make a free no, obligation consultation with the award-winning, board-certified Miami Lakes children’s orthodontist Dr. Carmen Briceño Crespi.
