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
Dr. Patel has been great throughout my Invisalign treatment. I appreciate the clear explanations and attention to detail as we work on correcting my bite. Very happy with my care and would highly recommend!
Really happy with my visit to Bracify! Scheduling was simple, appointments ran on time, and everything was handled smoothly. The entire process was easy and convenient. Definitely recommend!
Dr. Hutto is amazing and friendly! Ms. Kalen was nice and gentle during treatment. I appreciate them both for helping!
Very attentive, wonderful staff and Dr. Patel is very involved. Such a great experience all around.
Best places to get braces! They are clean, very friendly, and professional! What i didnt know, was that all orthodontist are not equally as friendly and clean after going to another place closer to home for my other child. Then quickly got him into Anthony Patel Orthodontics after that visit!
