Blast off to confidence!
Every kid deserves a head start on a great smile. The Anthony Patel Orthodontics Rising Star program gives kids ages 7-plus exactly that—and much more!
When should my child see an orthodontist?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that parents schedule their child’s first orthodontic visit by age 7. It’s around this time that their little smiles have a mix of baby and permanent teeth, and because their jaws are still developing, it’s important to monitor how adult teeth come in.
Without growth monitoring, crowding and other potential problems may make orthodontic treatment more challenging later in life.
What is Orthodontic Growth Monitoring?
As your little one grows, your Anthony Patel Orthodontics care team can help watch for orthodontic issues before they become more serious, making the work of orthodontics in their later years a lot easier. For example, we’ll monitor:
- Potential cross-bite and open bite development
- Obstructive breathing issues—is your child a mouth breather?
- Position of baby and permanent teeth
- Dental overcrowding or spacing which could hinder or affect permanent tooth development or position
- How permanent teeth come in
- Teeth at risk for injury or decay due to protrusion or overcrowding
- Harmful habits that may cause orthodontic problems (thumb sucking)
- Oral hygiene and overall dental health
- A balanced facial appearance
Anthony Patel Orthodontics Reviews
Always a wonderful experience. Any concerns I have regarding anything. They always do their best to make sure that I am pleased. I truly appreciate the hard work they put in to help us reach our goals
I had some dental work done and my teeth shifted a bit! I’m big on teeth! It’s the first thing people notice when they look at you! I needed something that would correct the spaces that was caused by my dental work! This Invisalign process has been smooth and easy! The employees are so professional and welcoming! I can’t wait until the final look!
Super friendly office. Everyone is very attention and Dr. Anthony Patel is great. They helped fix my gap in my front teeth and crowded bottom teeth. Thank you!
Dr. Hutto and Jaqui are super awesome and accommodating! They did a wonderful job and made my daughter feel welcome!! ❤️
What I really liked about Dr. Patel is that he takes the time to listen to the needs of his patients. Everything he said lined up perfectly with the transition and timeline of getting my smile back to normal after having some movement. I’d highly recommend!
