When you are looking for an orthodontist for your family, there is several questions you should ask. When is the right age to take my kid to see an orthodontist? Who has a proven track record of excellence and service? Which Tulsa orthodontists will be best with dealing with my child’s fear of seeing an orthodontist for the first time? How do I find someone who customizes their care to best fit my families unique needs? These are all great questions to get you started in finding an orthodontist that is the perfect fit for your family.

So first lets tackle that question of age? Not how old you are. Don’t worry. We know that’s rude to ask. We are talking about the question of what age should your child see an orthodontist? The American Association of Orthodontics recommends that every child see an orthodontist by the age of 7 or earlier if problems are detected. Receiving proper orthodontic care at a young age is important to set them up for a healthy future. Orthodontic care helps prevent the need for extensive oral surgery and also helps prevent other serious health threats. When a child sees an orthodontist at a young age it helps their teeth and facial structure move and develop into the most desirable locations.

Now about that next question. Who has a proven track record of excellence and service? Kirkpatrick & Lai Orthodontics have been Oklahoma Families trusted source for orthodontic care for over 50 years.
