Does My Child Need Braces?
While braces may not always be necessary for every child, orthodontic evaluations are important for every child to go to. It is important to have your child evaluated around age 7 according to the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) to ensure a healthy smile. If your child does need braces, the team at Smiles by Lorino knows the signs to look for and that you can look for at home. These include:
- crowded or misplaced teeth
- difficulty chewing or biting
- mouth breathing
- thumb sucking
- popping jaws
If you notice any of these early signs, that’s the perfect time to make an appointment with Smiles by Lorino.
