Orthodontics can straighten out your teeth to give you a beautiful smile. While they are often a part of a treatment program to straighten teeth in order to create an attractive smile, they can also help correct any functional problems with the bite, the jaw and the teeth.
According to the American Association of Orthodontists, every child should visit an orthodontist for an evaluation by the time they are 7 years old. This recommendation should be followed by all parents and is not dependent upon the number of teeth that have already erupted.
Orthodontists are able to make an assessment regarding future structural changes that could take place as the child ages. These structural changes will be taken into account during the initial assessment. Braces may be recommended to correct any smile or potential dental problems later on.
