Though an orthodontist can enhance a smile at any age, there is an optimal time period to begin treatment. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that the initial orthodontic evaluation should occur at the first sign of orthodontic problems or no later than age seven. At this early age, orthodontic treatment may not be necessary, but vigilant examination can anticipate the most advantageous time to begin treatment.

If your kids are facing malocclusions or bad "bites", bring them to John P Barinaga DMD Orthodontics. They can benefit from early diagnoses by our orthodontic specialist.
