At Dr. K’s, we LOVE kids!
Early Orthodontic Treatment
We all want the best for our kids! Why not give them the foundation for a healthy and confident smile?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends children see an orthodontist no later than age 7. At this early age there are small things that can be done that have a huge impact further down the road.
Is your child a mouth breather?
Does your child have severe
crowding?
Do your child’s front teeth not
touch?
If yes, why not have Dr. “K” have a look at your child? Schedule your free exam.
As a mother of four, Dr. K knows what it means to be a parent.
She will never recommend anything for your child that she would not do for her own kids –
at Dr. K’s, you are family!

Why do we see patients as young as 5?
According to the American Association of Orthodontists, children should have their first orthodontic check-up by age 7. Dr “K” likes to see patients as young as 5, since it can make a big difference for many kids. This early visit is crucial for identifying potential issues that are easier to correct while your child’s jaw and teeth are still developing.
By addressing orthodontic concerns early, we can guide jaw growth, improve bite function, and ensure there’s enough space for permanent teeth. Early intervention not only simplifies future treatment, but can have significant health impact. It can also boost your child’s self-confidence by fostering a healthy smile from a young age.
Key Benefits of Early Orthodontic Treatment
Guiding Jaw Alignment
Early treatment helps in directing the jaws to their proper position, preventing future complications and ensuring a harmonious facial structure.
Correcting Bite Patterns
Addressing bite issues early can prevent problems like crossbites and open bites, leading to better oral health and function.
Ensuring Space for Adult Teeth
Creating adequate space for adult teeth to erupt properly can prevent crowding and misalignment, simplifying future orthodontic treatment.
Managing Habits
Intervening in habits like thumb sucking can prevent long-term skeletal and dental issues, supporting healthier development.
Enhancing Self-Confidence
A beautiful smile can significantly boost your child’s confidence, positively impacting their social interactions and self-image.
Monitoring Growth
Regular check-ups allow us to track your child’s dental development, ensuring timely interventions as needed.
