Monitoring growth: ages 3–7

Early Detection in the Development Phase

Early Detection

Detect Malocclusion while the Jaw is Still Developing

Children usually visit a dentist for the first time around the age of six or seven. They will then be referred to an orthodontist if necessary. This is the stage of development in which we speak of early detection of malocclusion, which lasts until around the age of 12. During this time, the jaw continues to develop and form, so early intervention is crucial.

The earlier, the Better

Don't Wait with Counselling

Devices such as removable or fixed braces can be used as early as the development phase. However, the earlier a child is treated by an orthodontist, the sooner harmful habits such as finger sucking or thumb sucking can be identified and treated. This can help to avoid the use of expensive devices and keep children's teeth healthy and straight from the start. In keeping with the motto: early detection and timely reaction before later corrections become necessary.
