Every kid deserves a head start on a great smile. The Dovorany Orthodontics Rising Star program gives kids ages 7 and up exactly that — and much more!

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that parents schedule their child’s first orthodontic visit by age 7. It’s around this time that their little smiles have a mix of baby and permanent teeth, and because their jaws are still developing, it’s important to monitor how adult teeth come in.

Without growth monitoring, crowding and other potential problems may make orthodontic treatment more challenging later in life.

What is Orthodontic Growth Monitoring?

As your little one grows, your Dovorany Orthodontics care team can help watch for orthodontic issues before they become more serious, making the work of orthodontics in their later years a lot easier. For example, we’ll monitor:

  • Potential crossbite and open bite development
  • Obstructive breathing issues—is your child a mouth breather?
  • Position of baby and permanent teeth
  • Dental overcrowding or spacing which could hinder or affect permanent tooth development or position
  • How permanent teeth come in
  • Teeth at risk for injury or decay due to protrusion or overcrowding
  • Harmful habits that may cause orthodontic problems (thumb sucking)
  • Oral hygiene and overall dental health
  • A balanced facial appearance

Dr. Dovorany and his staff are great! They are prompt, efficient, and very kind. My son’s treatment worked wonders! Highly recommend him for any orthodontic work.

Initial appointment today, but I can’t say enough about the kindness of every interaction and the helpful text and email reminders! I’d rather have multiple reminders than none at all! Comfortable lobby and immediate welcome - by name!! They’ve never met us before but correctly matched up the patient with their schedule. I’ve never felt so initially welcomed into an office/medical setting before!
