Schedule Your Complimentary ConsultationYour child's oral health is so important! Orthodontic treatment for kids is about more than just straight teeth — it’s about making sure their jaws grow correctly and that they can eat and speak comfortably. Plus, getting a straight smile does wonders for their confidence!
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first consultation by at least age 7, and Dr. Whitlock urges parents to make that appointment sooner — by age 5. This early appoinrment gives Dr. Whitlock a chance to assess your child's growth, appropriate space for future teeth to come in, and especially their airway health. By this age, most children have enough permanent teeth emerging for Dr. Whitlock to evaluate their growth and development accurately.
Catching issues early is key! An early assessment lets us spot things like jaw growth problems or potential crowding. Sometimes, a little guidance now can prevent more complex (and costly!) care later on. This proactive, strategic approach is exactly what our Two-Phase Treatment is all about!
We want to give your child the best foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles.
