Orthodontics for Children
Early Treatment for the Small Smiles
The American Association of Orthodontists and Dr. Gopffarth suggest that kids in Keller see an orthodontist for a check-up by age seven. Don’t worry—this doesn’t mean your child will leave with a full set of braces!
This first visit is simply so Dr. Gopffarth can assess your child’s teeth and jaw, making sure everything is developing as it should. Most often, this marks the beginning of a monitoring phase.
Dr. Gopffarth will follow your child’s progress over the years and advise you on the right time to begin treatment if needed.
If any early signs of concern appear, early orthodontic care can help guide jaw growth and prevent more complex issues down the road.
How Early Treatment Helps
By age seven, your child’s jaw development and emerging permanent teeth will show early signs that help us plan their orthodontic care.
Dr. Gopffarth evaluates your child’s growth to ensure a strong foundation for a lasting, healthy smile.
Early checkups can reveal potential issues, allowing us to use simpler, more efficient, and often less costly treatments compared to starting later.
Building a Strong Foundation
After the first evaluation, Dr. Gopffarth may recommend Phase 1 treatment to address emerging orthodontic needs. Phase 1 typically spans 8 to 12 months and uses tailored approaches to guide jaw and facial growth.
Following Phase 1, your child will have regular checkups to monitor new teeth and assess if Phase 2 is needed.
Perfecting the Smile in Phase 2
Phase 2 often begins around ages 11–14, once most adult teeth are in place.
If further correction is needed, Dr. Gopffarth will craft a personalized plan to complete your child’s smile transformation.
Benefits of Early Treatment
What if Dr. Gopffarth finds that early treatment could benefit your child? We understand if you feel uncertain—it’s natural to have questions about early orthodontics!
But rest assured, Dr. Gopffarth’s expertise means your child is in capable hands.
Our warm, family-friendly office in Keller is designed to help you and your child feel at ease, and early treatment can make all the difference for your child’s smile! By treating issues now, you can forego more costly and time-consuming treatments later in life.
