🦷 Why Age 7 Matters in Orthodontics 🦷

February is National Children’s Dental Health Month, and there’s no better time to talk about why age 7 is such an important milestone for your child’s smile!

By age 7, your child has a mix of baby teeth and permanent teeth, which allows orthodontists to spot potential issues early—often before they become bigger (and more expensive) problems later on. An early orthodontic evaluation can help identify:
✨ Crowding or spacing issues
✨ Bite problems (overbite, underbite, crossbite)
✨ Jaw growth concerns
✨ Habits like thumb sucking that can affect development

Early doesn’t always mean braces right away—but it does mean creating a plan. In some cases, simple early treatment can guide jaw growth, make room for incoming teeth, and even shorten or simplify future orthodontic care.

A healthy smile starts with early care, and age 7 gives us the best chance to set kids up for confident, lifelong smiles 💚

📅 Schedule your child’s orthodontic evaluation today and let’s start National Children’s Dental Health Month off strong!

Phase I? DONE ✅ 💅🏽

🦷 Use orthodontic wax
Pokey wire or bracket? A little wax goes a LONG way in protecting your cheeks.

🍝 Stick to soft foods
Tender teeth are totally normal! Think smoothies, pasta, soups, yogurt, mashed potatoes, and mac & cheese.

🪥 Brush & rinse more often
Food loves hiding around brackets—brush after meals and use a saltwater rinse or water pick to stay clean and comfy.

Your smile journey just started and we’ve got you every step of the way💚

🦷 Signs It’s Time for Braces – Facts 🦷

1️⃣ Crowded or Overlapping Teeth

Fact: When teeth fight for space, it makes brushing harder and increases the risk of cavities and gum issues.

2️⃣ Gaps or Spaces Between Teeth

Fact: Spacing can affect bite function and lead to shifting over time.

3️⃣ Overbite, Underbite, or Crossbite

Fact: Bite issues can lead to jaw discomfort, uneven wear on teeth, and even difficulty chewing.

4️⃣ Early or Late Loss of Baby Teeth

Fact: This can change how adult teeth grow in and create alignment problems.

5️⃣ Jaw Shifting or Clicking

Fact: If the jaw moves to one side when biting down, it’s often a sign of misalignment that braces can help correct.

6️⃣ Mouth Breathing or Trouble Biting Into Foods

Fact: These can signal airway or bite issues connected to dental alignment.

7️⃣ Thumb-Sucking History

Fact: Long-term habits can push teeth forward and cause orthodontic problems.
