✅ AT WHAT AGE SHOULD I BRING MY CHILD IN FOR THEIR FIRST ORTHODONTIST EXAM? ✅ AGE 7. Why? ⤵️
🔹 COMPLEXITY: Early treatment, when indicated, may prevent more serious problems from developing and may make treatment at a later age shorter and less complicated.
🔹 AIRWAY: If your child snores or mouth breathes or has any airway issues, Dr. Welsh can assess their growth patterns and skeletal abnormalities that can be corrected to improve the quality of breathing and these areas of concern.
🔹 JAW COMPATIBILITY: Dr. Welsh can spot subtle problems with jaw growth and emerging teeth while some baby teeth are still present.
🔹 GROWTH & FUNCTION: While your child’s teeth may appear to be straight, there could be a problem that only a Board-Certified Orthodontist is able to detect. Dr. Welsh’s exam may reveal that your child’s bite is fine or it may identify a developing problem.
🔹 LASTING RESULTS & AESTHETICS: In some cases, Dr. Welsh will be able to achieve results that may not be possible once the face and jaws have finished growing.
🔹 Early treatment gives Dr. Welsh the ability to ~
• Guide jaw growth
• Lower the risk of trauma to protruded front teeth
• Correct harmful oral habits
• Improve appearance
• Guide permanent teeth into a more favorable position
• Improve the way lips meet
• Improve confidence
• Maximize Airway Potential
🔹Often, the heavy lifting in Orthodontic Treatment is done during Early Intervention. At BCO, those patients who do not need early treatment enter our “BCO KIDS CLUB”, receiving complimentary annual check-ups to determine the right time to start treatment & enter fun contests with prizes for good oral hygiene!
