Starting orthodontic evaluations early can significantly improve your child's future smile. Beverly Hills Dental recommends that children have their first screenings around the age of seven, even if they still have baby teeth. Early exams can help identify problems with jaw growth, spacing, and bite alignment. Addressing these issues while the jaw is still developing can lead to more straightforward and effective treatments. Even if braces aren't needed right away, tracking growth allows us to plan ahead. Parents have peace of mind knowing that their child's dental development is on track. Early guidance can often lead to a confident smile.
