Why Early Orthodontic Treatment Matters for Kids
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children see an orthodontist by age 7—and for good reason. Early orthodontic treatment can guide growth, improve function, and prevent more serious issues later.
At Carr Orthodontics, we evaluate developing smiles in Chico, Orland, and Paradise to determine if early (Phase 1) treatment is beneficial.
Benefits of Early Treatment:
- Corrects jaw growth issues early
- Reduces crowding and bite problems
- May shorten or simplify future treatment
- Can eliminate the need for extractions later
Not every child needs early treatment—but early evaluation ensures nothing is missed.
