Not to ruin the ending of this blog, but the answer is seven. The American Association of Orthodontics recommends all children get a check-up with an orthodontic specialist no later than age 7. Now, let me tell you why.First, early detection of orthodontic problems does not necessarily mean treatment. When deemed appropriate however, early intervention can minimize the need for more costly and extensive care later. Children often exhibit signs of jaw problems as they grow and develop. A jaw that is growing too much or not enough can be recognized at an early age.Not to be used as a substitute for diagnosis by an orthodontist, but we do have a downloadable bite ruler that can be a first step to identifying your child’s dental situation.
