Early Ortho Evaluation in Pasadena
Early orthodontic evaluations are part of the practice's children's services, so a parent can learn what is coming during a routine checkup.
What to expect from early orthodontic evaluation with us
Children's teeth and jaws change quickly, and some alignment problems are easier to plan for when they are spotted early. That is the purpose of an early orthodontic evaluation: a look at how adult teeth are coming in and how the bite is developing, before anything needs to be done. At Premier Care it is listed among the children's services, next to cleanings, sealants and fluoride treatments.
For many families the evaluation happens during a child's regular checkup, so there is no extra trip. If treatment is advisable later, braces or clear aligners can follow at the same office, and you will have a rough idea of what to expect in advance. Habit counseling for thumb sucking and pacifiers is also part of the children's services, since those habits can affect how teeth line up.
