Every kid deserves a head start on a great smile. The Shoreview Orthodontics Rising Star program gives kids ages 5-10 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, Shoreview Orthodontics 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

Shoreview Orthodontics Reviews
We only started the treatment for my daughter a month ago but we are already very impressed. They patiently explain the process, thoroughly answer all questions and provide comfort.
I highly recommend sure view orthodontics in Kenilworth! The front office is super friendly. The technicians and orthodontist are expert and came up with a plan to make my teeth look even better than 30 years ago! Vanessa is an expert technician who was very patient with my sensitive teeth and everybody there has a terrific personality and you can tell that they are very expert in what they are doing, very professional. Thank you so much and A+ to the practice!
I’ve never met such a kind and friendly staff. 😊I’ve been with Shoreview for about 1 1/2 years using Invisalign to fix the gaps and imperfections in this old smile. I so appreciate the attention to detail going through this process- we kept plugging along (and ordering extra trays….) until my teeth were right.Shoreview is exemplary!!!!
