Children and Braces

While the Canadian and American Association of Orthodontists recommend children be evaluated by an orthodontist by the age of 7,  you need not wait if you have any concerns.  You certainly should not wait for all the permanent teeth to grow in (a very common misconception).  We often provide early screening examinations to determine if your child’s teeth are developing correctly.

These early examinations give us the ability to detect potential problems early, before they develop into serious issues needing even more expensive treatment.  In addition, having an early examination allows us to monitor your child’s proper facial development greatly contributing to their long term health.
