Orthodontics for Children

Orthodontics for Children in Temple, TX

Smile at the World Orthodontics provides early orthodontics in to ensure that your child’s jaws and teeth are developing correctly. While there is no exact age for children to begin orthodontic treatment, the American Association of Orthodontists recommends visiting the orthodontist by age 7. Early orthodontic treatment allows us to monitor growth and development of the jaw and teeth, and can often help prevent future orthodontic problems. Call us at 254-773-8028 to learn more about early orthodontic care and schedule your child’s appointment with Dr. Knowles!

The childhood and teenage years are a great time for orthodontic treatment. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that a child receive their first orthodontic screening by the age of seven years, and we encourage you to bring your child to our office by this age to evaluate their need for orthodontic treatment. When we are able to start treatment early, we can often detect and correct potential problems before they become more serious. This can save you and your child time, as well as money.

Early orthodontic treatment is advantageous because a young child’s teeth have not finished erupting; this allows us to guide their eruption and address any problems at the earliest possible stage. Whether your child needs removable or fixed appliances, early orthodontic treatment can help to:

  • Provide more room for crowded erupting teeth
  • Preserve space for teeth that have not yet erupted
  • Create facial symmetry by manipulating jaw growth
  • Reduce the possible need for tooth extraction
  • Reduce the overall treatment time

When you bring your child to our practice, our orthodontist will be able to determine whether treatment is needed and when it should begin. If early orthodontics for children are needed, we will create a personalized treatment plan for optimal results. For more information and to set up your child’s orthodontic consultation at our office, we invite you to call or visit us todays
