If you're wondering whether it's too early to bring your child in, you're asking the right question at the right time. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first visit by age 7, and at Torres Orthodontics that visit is always free.
Why age 7?
By 7, enough adult teeth have come in for Dr. Torres to spot how the bite is developing. Catching a problem early often means a simpler, shorter, and less expensive fix later.
What to watch for
- Crowded or noticeably crooked teeth
- Difficulty chewing, or a jaw that shifts to one side
- Thumb-sucking past age 5, or mouth-breathing
Even if nothing needs treating yet, you'll leave with a clear picture and a plan. No pressure, no rush. That's the Torres way.
