Early Orthodontic Intervention

🦷 Why Early Orthodontic Intervention Matters

At Orthodontist South Surrey, we believe the best orthodontic treatment starts with the right timing. The Canadian Association of Orthodontists recommends that children have their first orthodontic check-up by age 7 — even if they still have baby teeth.

Early assessments help us:

  • Detect jaw growth issues before they become complex

  • Guide the development of facial bones and permanent teeth

  • Prevent overcrowding, crossbites, and speech issues

  • Minimize or avoid invasive treatments later on

By catching alignment problems early, we can often reduce the need for tooth extractions or lengthy orthodontic treatment during the teen years.

Trusted by Surrey families for early, gentle orthodontic care.
