What is Pediatric Orthodontics?

Pediatric orthodontics is dedicated to evaluating and correcting tooth and jaw development concerns in children. Since a child's teeth and jaw are still developing, early orthodontic evaluations can help identify concerns and determine the most appropriate course of treatment.

Orthodontic treatment may address:

  • dental crowding
  • improper tooth alignment
  • bite discrepancies
  • jaw growth abnormalities
  • excessive spacing between teeth
  • impacted or erupting teeth

Early monitoring allows for timely intervention, helping support healthy oral development and long-term dental health.

When Should a Child Have an Orthodontic Evaluation?

Early orthodontic evaluations can help identify developing concerns before they become more complex. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children have an orthodontic evaluation by age seven to assess jaw growth, tooth development, and alignment.

An early orthodontic evaluation can help identify:

  • crowding of permanent teeth
  • overbites and underbites
  • crossbites
  • jaw growth discrepancies
  • spacing concerns
  • eruption issues involving permanent teeth

An evaluation does not always mean immediate treatment is necessary. In many cases, regular monitoring helps determine the ideal timing for orthodontic intervention.
