Did you know that age 7 is the recommended time for a child’s first orthodontic consultation by the American Association of Orthodontists? At Weiler Orthodontics and Invisalign in Harrisonburg, Virginia, we believe early evaluation can make a big difference in your child’s smile and overall oral health. By this age, most children have a mix of baby teeth and permanent teeth, which allows our orthodontist to identify potential concerns with jaw development, bite alignment, and the spacing or crowding of teeth. Early detection doesn’t always mean immediate treatment, but it does give us the opportunity to monitor your child’s growth and plan the most effective time to begin braces or Invisalign if needed.
In some cases, early intervention with orthodontic appliances can help guide jaw growth, reduce the need for tooth extractions, and prevent more serious issues later on. For families in Harrisonburg and the surrounding Shenandoah Valley, a complimentary consultation at our office provides peace of mind and valuable insight into your child’s orthodontic future. Whether you're considering traditional braces or Invisalign clear aligners down the road, starting with an early consultation helps set the stage for long-term success and a confident, healthy smile.
