As your young face and jaws continue to grow, you must let your Lincoln orthodontist know about any changes in your bite. At age 7, children have a mix of baby (primary) and permanent teeth. Having your first free visit as permanent teeth take the place of baby teeth, and as the face and jaws are growing, gives our doctors a lot of information. If a problem exists, or if one is developing, our doctors at Schoettger Orthodontics can advise you on whether treatment is recommended, when it should begin, what form treatment will take, and estimate its length. Remember: not all treatment is done using braces or Invisalign treatment, these other corrections are called interceptive orthodontic treatments. Don't forget: you will receive a free ice cream coupon in the mail for your birthday, and we will even send you a free t-shirt!
