Blast off to confidence!
Every kid deserves a head start on a great smile. The Dr. Farrah Ortho Rising Star program gives kids ages 5-10 exactly that—and much more!
When Should My Child See An Orthodontist?
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 pediatric dental monitoring, crowding and other potential problems may make orthodontic treatment more challenging later in life.
What is Early Orthodontic Treatment?
As your little one grows, your Dr. Farrah Ortho 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 cross-bite 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 problems (like thumb sucking)
- Oral hygiene and overall dental health
- A balanced facial appearance
Dr. Farrah Orthodontics Reviews
Excellent dentist. Beautiful environment courteous employees. Clean warming welcomed quality and affordable services.
Dr. Dillingham is the best orthodontist in Austin in my opinion. He actually cares about his patients, very detailed and trustworthy, I highly recommend him. I’m thoroughly satisfied with the results I now see in the mirror.
They are so kind. Two different doctors but they do communicate and my son is so happy about his new smile.
Wonderful office and staff!
I love Dr. Farrah and all the staff! Such Exceptional service
