Queens Orthodontist Encourages First Orthodontic Check-Ups Around Age 7
BP Smiles Orthodontics in Queens encourages parents to schedule their child's first orthodontic evaluation around age 7. Early checkups help monitor healthy jaw and tooth development.
QUEENS, NY – BP Smiles Orthodontics is encouraging parents to schedule their child's first orthodontic evaluation around age 7, following the recommendation of the American Association of Orthodontists.
An early orthodontic visit does not usually mean a child will need braces right away. Instead, it gives the orthodontist an opportunity to monitor jaw growth, evaluate how permanent teeth are developing, and identify concerns while they are easier to manage. Many children simply return for periodic checkups until treatment becomes appropriate.
BP Smiles Orthodontics provides complimentary orthodontic consultations for children, teens, and adults throughout Queens. Patients receive care from the same orthodontist throughout the entire treatment process.
Parents often believe orthodontic treatment begins only during the teenage years, but an early evaluation helps determine the ideal timing for treatment if it becomes necessary. These visits also give families an opportunity to ask questions and understand what changes to watch for as their child grows.
The practice also offers Sunday appointments, interest-free in-house financing, and treatment options including traditional braces, Invisalign, lingual braces, and Brava by BRIUS.
"The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an initial consultation by age seven, and most treatments begin around ages 11 to 13 when the adult teeth have erupted," said Dr. Boris Pinhasov, board-certified orthodontist at BP Smiles Orthodontics.
