The American Association of Orthodontics recommends children have an orthodontic evaluation by age 7.
Most jaw and dental problems can be easily identified at this early age, such as snoring, mouthbreathing and teeth grinding.
Click on smilepage to learn more about meeting your child's orthodontic needs as early as possible. Also discover how your jaws can affect your life.
It is estimated that 80% of our facial growth is completed by age 8.
An early exam allows Drs. Coulson and Sherry to determine how and when a child's particular jaw and dental problems should be corrected for the optimal results.
If you suspect a problem with your child's bite or jaw alignment, please schedule an initial consultation today.
