Do I need a referral?

It is not necessary to have your dentist refer you for an examination. Referrals are often by friends or family.

What is the best age to begin orthodontic care?

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an orthodontic screening at the age of 7. Some orthodontic problems are significant enough to warrant early intervention. It is important to monitor the growth and needs of your individual child to determine when he or she may benefit most from an orthodontic appointment. However, it is never too late to begin orthodontic treatment.
