🦷 Does Your Child Have an Overbite?
Here's What Parents Need to Know
Almost 70% of children have some type of overbite. While some mild cases improve as your child grows, others need early intervention to prevent bigger problems down the road.
Because your child's jaw is still developing, we can often achieve results in younger patients that aren't possible in older teens and adults. That means less invasive treatment and lower costs when you catch it early.
Left untreated, an overbite can lead to abnormal wear on tooth enamel, difficulty chewing, speech problems, and self-consciousness about appearance.
🔹 What Parents Are Saying:
Parents whose children required overbite correction praise Dr. Redford and Dr. Burke for thoroughly diagnosing the issue and clearly explaining the treatment plan from the start. Reviewers consistently highlight how both doctors keep families informed about progress at every visit, which helps parents and children feel confident throughout the process.
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends children see an orthodontist by age 7. If you've noticed your child's top teeth sticking out or overlapping significantly, now is the time to get answers.
Burke & Redford Orthodontists has specialized exclusively in children and teens since 1991. Free consultations and 0% interest payment plans available at our Temecula and Lake Elsinore offices.
