We strongly recommend that you bring your son or daughter in for an initial consultation by the age of seven. However, many of our new patients are in middle or high school.

If we see signs that early intervention is necessary, then we can step in to help your younger child’s smile get on the right track. In most cases though, our younger patients will be ready for braces once they have lost all of their baby teeth – which is normally around the age of thirteen.

The great thing about Victoria Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics is that we’re not just an orthodontic office. We are a pediatric dentist as well: meaning you have everything your teen’s smile could ask for under one roof. There’s no need for our patients to go anywhere else!

We recommend you start bringing your child in for routine cleanings from a young age, when their baby teeth are just starting come in. This is usually around the age of one. Since we’ll be seeing a lot of your family as we perform regular checkups – we can just as well keep an eye on your child’s orthodontic needs and act by incorporating braces when necessary.
