Across Dallas, more families are discovering the value of early orthodontic care—and it’s making a big difference in children’s lives. Starting treatment at just the right time can prevent future dental complications and help young smiles grow strong and confident.

At Ohlenforst Carney Orthodontics, we’re passionate about guiding kids through healthy dental development in a caring, stress-free environment. Learn more about our approach to orthodontics for kids.

Why Early Orthodontic Treatment Matters

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends every child see an orthodontist by age 7. This early check-in allows us to identify potential issues before they become bigger challenges.

Here’s why parents are choosing early evaluations:

  • Catch bite and jaw concerns before they worsen

  • Guide jaw growth and help permanent teeth erupt properly

  • Reduce the need for extractions or lengthy treatment later

  • Support confidence and self-esteem early on

Even if your child doesn’t need treatment right away, early monitoring helps us time care for the best results.

What to Expect at the First Visit

We know how important it is for kids to feel comfortable. That’s why our early consultations are relaxed, friendly, and informative—for both parents and children.

During the visit, we’ll:

  • Review dental and medical history

  • Take digital X-rays and photos

  • Evaluate tooth alignment, spacing, and bite

  • Talk through our findings and recommend next steps
