The best age to first bring your child to see an orthodontist is around the age of 6 or 7 years old. An early examination allows Dr. DeWitt to determine how and when your child’s particular issues should be treated to achieve the best possible result. Sometimes it is necessary to address certain issues, such as a crossbite (narrow upper arch), or a severe overjet at an earlier age to encourage a healthy dental development pattern. If your child does not have any pressing orthodontic issues, we will schedule an appointment to re-examine him or her at a later date.
