Orthodontic Problems to Watch out for in 7 Year Olds
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children get their first orthodontic check up at age 7. Here is a publication by the AAO showing some examples of orthodontic problems to watch out for in 7 year olds. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. It is a lot easier to look at these pictures to understand what an orthodontic problem looks like than to read a description. These photos show examples of an anterior crossbite, posterior crossbite, crowding, open bite, protrusion of the upper front teeth, ectopic eruption of a first molar, an underbite, spacing, and a finger habit.
