Early Orthodontic Evaluation for Kids
At Greenwoods Pediatric Dentistry, we help you set your child up for a lifetime of healthy smiles.
Why Early Evaluation Matters?
The Canadian Association of Orthodontists recommends that children receive their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. At this age, enough permanent teeth have emerged to identify potential alignment and bite issues, even while most baby teeth are still present.
Early evaluation doesn’t always mean early treatment—but it means we can monitor your child’s development and intervene at the ideal time if needed.
What We Look For
During early orthodontic evaluations, we assess:
Bite Alignment in Kids
Jaw Growth Patterns
Tooth Emergence
Oral Habits
Spacing Issues
Benefits of Early Dectection
Identifying problems early can:
- Reduce treatment complexity by addressing issues during natural growth phases
- Guide jaw growth to create better facial symmetry and function
- Create space for permanent teeth to emerge properly
- Improve breathing and bite function before problems become severe
- Shorten overall treatment time when braces or aligners are eventually needed
- Boost confidence by addressing visible concerns during formative years
