Our practice has an early treatment philosophy. We believe that orthodontic screenings for children should be done at early ages. Today, the American Association of Orthodontics recommends screenings by the age of seven. We feel that these screenings are crucial if we are to determine whether a child is on a path toward positive dental-facial development or bears any issue, such as thumb sucking or breathing through the mouth, that could contribute to poor dental-facial development that should be addressed. It is important to analyze children’s dental health and function when they are younger in order to correct their dental-facial development. I always tell my patients and their parents that, by the time that the last baby tooth falls out, we want to be close to realizing their goal. I have treated children as young as four years old, and sometimes there are simple ways to positively affect their dental-facial development early in their childhood.
