When Should Children See an Orthodontist?
Parents do not always know when a child’s bite needs attention. Some issues are easy to see, such as crowded teeth or gaps. Others involve jaw growth, tooth eruption, or bite patterns that are harder to notice at home.
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children have their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. At iSmile Orthodontics, this early visit does not automatically mean your child needs treatment. Many children are simply monitored until the timing is right.
| What We Check | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Jaw growth | Helps identify early growth or bite concerns |
| Crowding | Shows whether permanent teeth may have enough room |
| Bite alignment | Checks for overbite, underbite, crossbite, or open bite |
| Tooth eruption | Monitors whether adult teeth are coming in properly |
| Oral habits | Helps guide timing if habits affect growth or bite |
If your child needs support, Dr. Torkan can explain whether early treatment, future braces, or observation is the best next step.
Braces and Invisalign Near Wedgwood
Every smile moves differently. Some patients need the steady control of braces, while others may be good candidates for Invisalign. The right option depends on the bite, tooth positions, age, lifestyle, and treatment goals.
Braces may be recommended for more complex crowding, rotations, bite correction, or patients who prefer treatment that stays in place. Clear or ceramic braces may offer a less noticeable fixed option for some patients.
Invisalign uses clear, removable aligners to gradually move teeth. It can be a strong option for responsible teens and adults who want a more discreet treatment experience. For teens, Invisalign Teen may be considered when the case and wear habits are a good match.
iSmile Orthodontics also uses iTero digital impressions, which can make the scanning process more comfortable than traditional molds and help support accurate treatment planning.
What to Expect at Your First Visit
Your first orthodontic visit should give you answers, not pressure. At iSmile Orthodontics, the initial consultation is offered at no charge, giving you a chance to understand your smile or your child’s bite before making treatment decisions.
Step 1: We Listen to Your Concerns
We start with your goals and questions. You may be worried about crowding, spacing, bite problems, shifting teeth, jaw growth, or whether treatment is needed at all.
Step 2: We Evaluate the Smile and Bite
Your visit may include a visual exam, X-rays, photos, diagnostics, impressions, or digital scans depending on your needs and readiness for treatment.
Step 3: We Explain the Findings
Dr. Torkan will explain what looks healthy, what may need attention, and whether treatment should begin now, later, or not at all.
Step 4: We Review Treatment Options
If orthodontic treatment is recommended, we will talk through options such as braces, clear braces, Invisalign, retainers, or monitoring.
Step 5: We Discuss Payment and Scheduling
Our team can help you understand scheduling, payment plans, insurance details, and what to expect as treatment begins. You can also review common questions on our orthodontic treatment FAQ.

Orthodontic Care for Teens and Adults
Teen orthodontics often focuses on timing, confidence, school routines, sports, and long-term bite health. Some teens do best with braces, while others may be candidates for Invisalign. Our team helps families choose the option that fits the teen’s needs and responsibility level.
Adult orthodontics is different. Many adults come to us because their teeth have shifted, they never had treatment as a child, or they want a healthier-looking smile. Some adults prefer Invisalign, while others benefit from braces or other treatment options.

“We couldn’t be happier with the results.”
“My 9 year old daughter just got her braces off and we couldn’t be happier with the results! Everyone we encountered from start to finish at every appointment has been phenomenal, and worked so hard to make my daughter comfortable. Appointments were always super easy to schedule and convenient and parking is a breeze. We absolutely couldn’t be happier with the entire process from start to finish (which has been over the course of a year).”
