We’re honored to be featured as the Ask the Expert for orthodontic care! 💙
One of the most common questions we hear from parents is: “When should my child first see an orthodontist?” The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an orthodontic screening around age 7, and Dr. Lindsay Limbaugh and our team are here to make that first visit easy, informative, and comfortable.
Every smile grows at its own pace, and early evaluations allow us to monitor development and recommend treatment only when the timing is right. Whether it’s braces, Invisalign, retainers, or simply a “let’s keep watching” visit, we love helping families feel confident about their child’s smile journey.
Thank you to MIX 96.9 for helping share helpful orthodontic information with our community!
