As early as age seven, a child will begin to experience changes with their teeth. Baby teeth will come out, gaps and spaces may be more apparent, and you’ll begin to question whether or not braces are the right option for your child.

Each child comes with his or her own unique dental and facial makeup that needs to be monitored over time. Dr. Ravneet recommends that a child has their first Orthodontic exam around the age of seven. Scheduling an appointment around this point in your child’s life is perfect to start to evaluate their facial growth patterns and teeth maturation.

At Aspen Orthodontics, your child will be invited to become a member of Dr. Ravneet’s Kids Club, which offers free checkups with Dr. Ravneet every 6 months for continued monitoring of growth. During these checkups, your child will receive new x-rays and diagnostics which will help Dr. Ravneet evaluate their unique facial pattern for proper balance, symmetry, and growth. Your child will also have the opportunity to develop a relationship with Dr. Ravneet, and begin to feel comfortable with the Aspen Orthodontics team before actual treatment is needed.
