Why Early Orthodontic Evaluations Matter

Did you know the American Association of Orthodontists recommends your child have their first orthodontic check-up by age 7? While most kids don’t need braces that young, an early evaluation helps Dr. Carney identify potential issues with jaw growth or tooth alignment before they become more complicated.

Early evaluation can help with:

  • Guiding proper jaw development

  • Monitoring space for incoming permanent teeth

  • Preventing more invasive treatment in the future

  • Boosting confidence early on

Have a child around age 7 or showing signs of crowding or bite issues? Book a complimentary evaluation with Dr. Carney today.
