Early Orthodontic Treatment in Ellicott City
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that every child have their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7 when the transition from baby teeth to permanent teeth begins. This is the ideal time for an orthodontist to check how your child’s teeth and jaws are developing.
Most children don’t need treatment at this age, but an early evaluation allows us to catch potential problems early, like crowding, bite issues, or jaw growth concerns, so we can guide things in the right direction before they become more complex later on.
At Level Orthodontics, we make these visits fun and informative, giving parents peace of mind and kids the best start toward a healthy, confident smile.
When Early Treatment Is Helpful
We know that each child’s circumstance is different, which is why we carefully check each young patient to see if early treatment is right for them. Not every child needs early intervention, and we promise to give honest advice based on each child’s requirements instead of pushing for unneeded treatment. When early treatment is helpful, we talk about the benefits and make treatment programs that fit into hectic family schedules. Our Before & After results showcase the life-changing transformations achieved through personalized orthodontic treatment, reflecting confident, healthy smiles.
