Early Orthodontic Care
Kids Braces in Manassas, VA
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children receive an orthodontic evaluation by age seven. When concerns are detected early, treatment may help prevent more complex problems later.
Common Childhood Orthodontic Concerns
Orthodontic problems can be inherited or caused by an injury to the mouth, the early or late loss of baby teeth, or thumb-sucking.
At Ultra Smiles, we can treat numerous concerns, including crowded or improperly spaced teeth, jaw-growth problems, protruding teeth, and bite issues.
Why Early Treatment Matters
Most children lose all their baby teeth by age 13, and their jawbones stop growing toward the end of their teenage years. Early interceptive treatment may reduce the need for tooth extractions, oral surgery, or more extensive treatment later.
The Best Time for a First Evaluation
If your child is between seven and eight years old, we encourage you to schedule an appointment. We will perform an initial examination and discuss the best next steps for caring for your child’s smile.
