Why We Perform Early Evaluations 

At Ocean Blue Orthodontics, we follow the guidelines set out by the American Association of Orthodontists, which recommends that every child have an orthodontic evaluation by the age of seven. This allows our children’s orthodontist to examine your child’s jaw growth and bite and determine if they’ll need further treatment. If we find any issues with your child’s bite or jaw, know it’s easier and less costly to address the problems at a younger age. 

Early evaluations don’t always mean that your child will need treatment. In many cases, we can simply wait, monitor your child’s growth, and discuss when to employ braces or orthodontics down the road. 

Symptoms of Orthodontic Issues 

Only a pediatric orthodontist can determine whether your child needs braces or preventive treatment. However, if you notice mouth breathing, speech impediments, crowded, protruding, or unevenly spaced teeth, difficulty chewing, or persistent thumb-sucking, your child should visit Ocean Blue Orthodontics for an evaluation. 

In these cases, early treatment may provide the following benefits: 

• Reduce or eliminate the need for braces or jaw surgery 

• Eliminate the need for adult tooth extractions 

• Improve your child’s facial development 

Our children’s orthodontist uses cutting-edge braces for kids, including self-ligating Damon braces, which are comfortable and don’t require elastic or metal ties.
