Age 7 is the perfect time for your first orthodontic exam with Dr. Reece. At this age, usually, the first adult molars have erupted and baby teeth in the front are becoming loose. Although many kids do not need braces at this time, it is an excellent opportunity to evaluate crowding, crossbites, airway problems, excess spacing, habits (thumb/finger sucking, and tongue thrust). By catching dental problems early, it may prevent more expensive, longer, and complex treatment later. Treatment at this age is typically referred to as a Phase 1 treatment.
