Most children benefit from an initial orthodontic evaluation around age seven, even while baby teeth are still present. This allows a Pediatric Orthodontist to catch early bite or jaw growth issues while there is still time to guide development.
Signs like crowded teeth, gaps, thumb-sucking past early childhood, or difficulty biting and chewing can all point to a need for braces. An evaluation will confirm whether treatment is needed now or should be monitored for later.
Early treatment focuses on guiding jaw growth and creating space, while later treatment typically focuses on straightening permanent teeth. In many cases, addressing issues early can reduce the complexity of treatment as a teenager.
Treatment length varies based on your child's specific needs, but early interceptive phases often run several months to a year, while full braces treatment can take longer. We will walk you through an expected timeline at your consultation.
Yes, we welcome families from across Queens, including Jackson Heights, Corona, and Woodside, in addition to our Elmhurst neighbors.
