The American Association of Orthodontics recommends that children receive their first orthodontic examination as early as age seven. Detected early enough, problems can be corrected before they have completely established themselves. This can therefore be less expensive, may avoid tooth extraction, and produces more stable results. In growing children, this is also the best time to address concerns with not only developing crowding and disproportionate jaw growth, but undesirable habits as well.
