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

Easy to work with and my daughter was in and out of Invisalign in just 14mo. Very kind staff as well. Highly recommend!
I recently visited a clinic to replace my permanent retainers after six years of use. I was impressed by how punctual they were—the appointment started exactly on time.They also responded quickly to my individual requests, making adjustments to ensure the new retainers fit my specific needs. The staff was very friendly and professional, and there were no unexpected extra charges.Overall, it was a very positive experience, and I would happily recommend this clinic.
