Every child has some sort of orthodontic need during their childhood years. It’s important that those needs are addressed at an early age. Houston cosmetic dentist Dr. Farid Noie suggest scheduling your child’s first appointment around the age of 7. That’s an age which typically the first permanent molars in the back are already in and baby teeth are switching to grown up teeth. Dr. Farid Noie says orthodontic problems can sometimes be genetic or often a result from sucking their fingers or thumb.

During the first consultation, typically the orthodontist will examine your child. They’ll tell you what particular problems they see, what the consequences of those problems may or may not be, and they’ll recommend some treatment, times and options. The earlier age a problem is found, the easier, faster and less expensive it can be to treat. He encourages parents to get their child in to see their Houston dentist by at least age 2, and to ask their child’s dentist when he thinks it’s time for a visit to the orthodontics.
