Traditionally, a child’s dentist will suggest a referral to an orthodontist when all of their primary teeth have fallen out. Now, with the introduction of early intervention orthodontics, Orthodontists work closely with pediatric dental specialists and dentists to determine if children as young as 7 years old are good candidates for early treatment.
