Early Orthodontic Assessment in Milton, ON
Early evaluation can make a lifelong difference in your child’s smile. At White Canvas Dentistry, we provide professional early orthodontic assessments in Milton, Ontario to identify bite, jaw, and alignment issues before they become more complex. Serving Milton families since 2008, our team focuses on prevention, early guidance, and child-friendly care to support healthy dental development.
What Is an Early Orthodontic Assessment?
An early orthodontic assessment is a thorough evaluation of your child’s teeth, jaw growth, and bite alignment — typically recommended around age 7. This allows dentists to detect developing issues while the jaw is still growing. Early assessments help:
- Identify crowding or spacing issues
- Detect bite problems early
- Monitor jaw growth patterns
- Reduce the need for extensive orthodontics later
Not every child needs treatment right away, but early insight is invaluable.
Signs Your Child May Benefit from an Early Orthodontic Evaluation
Your child may benefit from an assessment if they have:
- Early or late loss of baby teeth
- Difficulty chewing or biting
- Mouth breathing or thumb sucking
- Crowded, crooked, or protruding teeth
- Jaw clicking or shifting
We guide parents honestly on whether treatment is needed now or later.
