Blast off to confidence!
Every kid deserves a head start on a great smile. The Wermerson Orthodontics growth guidance program gives kids ages 7-plus 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 growth monitoring, crowding and other potential problems may make orthodontic treatment more challenging later in life.
What is Orthodontic Growth Monitoring?
As your little one grows, our doctors and 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 (thumb sucking)
- Oral hygiene and overall dental health
- A balanced facial appearance

I’ve had braces with Wemersons Orthodontics for the past 2 years, and I’ve had a great experience from start to finish. The facility is always clean and welcoming, and the staff are incredibly kind, professional, and helpful. They always took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure I understood what was happening during my treatment. I’m really happy with my results and grateful for how smooth and positive the whole experience has been. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for an orthodontist!
The staff was great and easy to work with. My son felt very comfortable with them!
Every check went very smoothly, everyone was super nice and welcoming. The chairs are so comfortable too don’t even get me started. My teeth turned out amazing and I couldn’t be more happy with the outcome. Definitely recommend Wermerson!
