Are you wondering, “Do I need to see an orthodontist?” Sometimes, people are unsure about the differences between a dentist and orthodontist. Also, they may not know what age someone should plan a child’s first visit. So, we’ll give you the answers here.
Importantly, visiting an orthodontist can be a life-changing experience. Not only can you get the smile you always dreamed of, but you can also avoid oral health issues. So, it’s much more than cosmetic and can lead to more smiles, confidence, self-esteem, and even success.

Orthodontist Help People Age Seven to Adults
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that kids visit an orthodontist by age seven. Why the magic number seven? Well, that’s when an orthodontist can spot early signs of potential problems. Thus, by having their teeth checked out, your child can avoid issues like crowded teeth or other problems (malocclusions). Fortunately, there’s no discomfort involved.
Often, your orthodontist will work together with your family dentist. By getting routine cleanings, your dentist will ensure healthy teeth and gums. Generally, they refer patients to an orthodontist when there are signs of misaligned teeth or jaws. From there, the orthodontist will ensure a healthy bite and a beautiful straight smile.
Today, more adults than ever are seeking an orthodontist. With advanced options like Invisalign, getting a perfect smile is comfortable, faster, and discreet. Thus, orthodontists are helping people of all ages achieve a functional and aesthetically gorgeous smile.
