Orthodontics for Children & Adults

The American Association of Orthodontists says that your child's first orthodontic screening should occur when you first see orthodontic problems emerging (or by age seven at the latest). The advantage of an early first evaluation is threefold:

  • It can help you and your doctor plan the best time to begin treatment
  • It enhances your child's chances of receiving a good treatment outcome
  • It may help you and your orthodontist determine that no treatment will be necessary at all

Why is age seven the "magic number?"

For most children, it's around age seven when their first adult molars will come in. These molars will help establish a child's adult bite. A thorough examination around age seven with an experienced La Mirada orthodontist can predict common problems like overbites, crowding, open bites, and gummy smiles.

Adult Orthodontics

With developments in orthodontics in recent years, more and more adults are seeking treatment for oral difficulties they've been experiencing since childhood.

Having a confident, beautiful smile can be a real professional asset. Orthodontics often leads to enhanced self-esteem for adults and is an important part of overall oral health. Adult orthodontic treatment can help patients with crooked teeth avoid gum and bone loss, cavities, and even correct jaw pain (TMJ/TMD).
