It’s a question we hear all the time: “Do they really need to come in at age 7?”

The answer is often yes and this is a great example of why. In the “before” photo, you’ll notice something called a crossbite. This happens when the upper palate is too narrow, causing the top teeth to sit inside the lower teeth instead of outside where they should be.

Catching and correcting a crossbite early can support healthy jaw growth, help permanent teeth come in properly, prevent uneven wear, and reduce the risk of bigger orthodontic issues down the road. Early treatment can make a big difference and it’s often simpler than parents expect.

Give us a call to schedule your free check-up today and let’s make sure your kiddo’s smile is growing just the way it should!

Two great reasons to see an orthodontist starting at age 7! The top photo shows a teen who had no idea their canine tooth was stuck. It took oral surgery and braces to bring it in—treatment was longer and more complex, but they finished with an amazing, healthy smile. The bottom photo shows an 8-year-old referred early by their dentist. With expansion and limited braces, we can guide growth and make space for teeth before problems get bigger later. Early checkups mean easier, faster, and often less costly treatment. No referral needed—come in for a free visit with Dr. Hobson and see what we can do for your smile!

When we first met this amazing patient, they were experiencing significant crowding, with canines erupting out of place and a narrow upper arch. Dr. Hobson created a custom treatment plan that included full braces and palatal expander to create the space needed for a healthy, functional, and beautiful smile.

Highlights of this treatment plan are:
✅ Class I bite
✅ Perfectly aligned canines
✅ Ideal overbite and overjet
✅ Midlines centered
✅ Wider, more balanced arch form
✅ Confident smile—and better sleep, too!

After 28 months of teamwork and dedication, the results speak for themselves. This smile isn’t just straighter—it’s stronger, healthier, and built to last.
