Put Your Best Smile Forward
Braces used to be a rite of passage among teenagers, but modern orthodontics can help people of all ages get the healthy smile they desire. Kids should see an orthodontist around age 7 for an evaluation so that they can begin any necessary treatment at the ideal time.

What Happens During an Orthodontic Consult?
The FREE orthodontic consult allows the orthodontist to identify potential issues with your child’s smile.
- Early action means less chance of tooth removal later on.
- Braces can help guide permanent teeth and jaw growth.
- Starting early means addressing minor issues before they become bigger problems.
Telling your child that they have a consultation with an orthodontist can send them into a panic, so it might help ease that anxiety by explaining what to expect. The orthodontist’s office isn’t a scary place, and we take special care to make kids feel comfortable.
Here’s what you can expect and why we need to do it:
- X-rays and imaging studies help determine the best treatment plan because they show what’s going on beneath the gums.
- Review the treatment plan and all recommendations so that you and your child understand what will happen.
- Answer any questions about the process so that you feel confident about each step.
- Work out pricing to make sure it fits within your budget so that you aren’t stressed about your child’s care.
In many cases, your child can start treatment the same day as the consultation, as long as everybody is comfortable with the plan.
What to Expect with Orthodontic Treatment
Depending on the type of braces you choose and your child’s case, follow-up appointments might vary. Expect to return every four to eight weeks so that we can make sure your child’s teeth are moving as expected. Keeping these appointments is a critical part of the treatment plan because we can identify any issues or make adjustments to keep on track.
By the end of treatment, your child’s smile will be healthy and beautiful. They will have to wear a retainer afterward, but it’s removable, and many kids only have to wear it at night after a while.
