Did you know that the American Association of Orthodontists recommend<\/a> for your child to see an orthodontist by the time they reach the age of seven? While that might come as a surprise to you, don’t be alarmed as these early evaluations don’t typically result in early treatment.<\/p>\n

Early evaluations are performed in order to establish a solid foundation for healthy growth and development. By the age of seven, your child’s permanent teeth have likely erupted and developmental issues can be identified. With an early evaluation, we are able to determine a likely timeline of development and treatment options. Jawbone growth, bite, and facial development are just some areas Dr. Holland and Schellhase will focus on during these early exams.<\/p>\n

There are\u00a0never any\u00a0fees for an early exam here at your Jacksonville orthodontist<\/a>. If you are curious about whether your young child would benefit from an early orthodontic evaluation, please contact our office today to schedule your initial visit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
