The Right Time for an Orthodontic Check-up：No Later Age 7. ——
Timing is everything – even when it comes to your child’s orthodontictreatment. “Early” treatment, also called “interceptive” treatment, means treatment that is performed while some baby teeth are still present.
The American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) recommends that your child’s first check-up with an orthodontist be performed when an orthodontic problem is first recognized, but no later than age 7. Why age 7? By then, your child has enough permanent teeth for an orthodontist to evaluate the developing teeth and the jaws,which in turn can provide a wealth of information.
Correction period of traditional ideas: 12 years old+ Orthodontics after changing deciduous teeth at the age of 12 will not only miss the peak period of facial development and cause irreparable losses, but also suffer from the pain of extraction of permanent teeth. About 65% of children in China require tooth extraction.
