Here are some orthodontic warning signs for you and your family. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that parents understand the early warning signs of an orthodontic problem and recommends kids be evaluated by an orthodontist by age 7 – 8. Early evaluation provides both timely detection of problems and a greater opportunity for more effective treatment. Well timed intervention guides growth and development, preventing serious problems later. When orthodontic warning signs show that intervention is not necessary, an orthodontist can carefully monitor growth and development and begin treatment when it is ideal.
