Blast off to confidence!
Every kid deserves a head start on a great smile. The Cheek-Hill 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, Dr. Cheek-Hill and our 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
Cheek - Hill Orthodontics Reviews
Absolutely love the whole staff at Cheek-Hill Orthodontics. We had an amazing experience with my daughter getting braces. Thankful we got a second option and found this place. They guided us in the best way with a great game plan. A little less than 2 years and the braces came off today. Excellent place to go to!
The cheekhill family took very good care of my son. We are excited to have made it to the end of our braces journey but sad to be leaving. Thank you for all u do!
They are the best! So kind and knowledgeable and wonderful to work with!
Absolutely love Dr. Cheek Hill! We did Invisalign with her and had a great experience. Highly recommend her and the practice.
Amazing results. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend.
