Blast off to confidence!
Kids deserve a smile head start. With Rising Star and DN Orthodontics, kids aged 7 and up get exactly a whole lot more!
When should my child see an orthodontist?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that parents schedule their child’s first orthodontic visit by age 7. It’s around this time that their little smiles have a mix of baby and permanent teeth, and because their jaws are still developing, it’s important to monitor how adult teeth come in.
Without growth monitoring, crowding and other potential problems may make orthodontic treatment more challenging later in life.
What is Orthodontic Growth Monitoring?
As your little one grows, your DN Orthodontics doctor can help watch for orthodontic issues before they become more serious, making the work of orthodontics in their later years a lot easier. For example, we’ll monitor:
- Potential cross-bite and open bite development
- Obstructive breathing issues—is your child a mouth breather?
- Position of baby and permanent teeth
- Dental overcrowding or spacing which could hinder or affect permanent tooth development or position
- How permanent teeth come in
- Teeth at risk for injury or decay due to protrusion or overcrowding
- Harmful habits that may cause orthodontic problems (thumb sucking)
- Oral hygiene and overall dental health
- A balanced facial appearance
Smile Doctors by DN Orthodontics Reviews
I had a great experience getting my braces put on today! Everyone was so patient, knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly throughout the entire process. They made sure I understood everything and made me feel comfortable from start to finish. I’m very happy with my experience and would highly recommend them!
Love the Dr and the staff- They always take time to explain to me what’s going on with my kiddos that have braces - They also go out of their way to help when there is a problem with wires or brackets. Couldn’t ask for a better team of professionals
They always do an amazing job when it comes to my braces and they always perfect it. They always provide me with what I need and are wonderful to be around. Thank you Smile Doctors!- Lena Brown
My son had braces put on by Verinda. She was very professional, patient, and thorough with the installation and after care cleaning instructions. My son gives her 10/10 stars.
Love this Dr and all his office staff- Couldn’t ask for a better group of people to take care of my girls
