FREE GROWTH CHECK AGES 7+

Orthodontist for Kids on Maui

We offer a Free Growth Check for kids ages 7+, no referral needed. When needed, our orthodontists offer early orthodontic treatment options to help guide your child's teeth and jaw development.

The Best Time to Check In

Why Age 7?

At age 7, your child is still growing! At this stage, most kids have a mix of baby and adult teeth, giving us a clear view of how things are developing. It allows us to spot and often prevent bigger orthodontic issues before they become more complex.

While most kids won’t need early treatment, for those who do, catching problems now can save significant time, cost, and effort down the road. And if no treatment is needed, a growth check still offers peace of mind that everything is on track.

By evaluating your child’s growth at age 7:

  • We can catch developing issues early before they become complex or costly.
  • We monitor progress yearly with no pressure to start unless it’s truly needed.
  • We ensure any treatment begins at the ideal time for the best possible results.

What can we catch during a growth check?

  • Crowding or spacing
  • Overbite or underbite
  • Delayed tooth eruption
  • Jaw growth concerns
  • Mouth breathing or airway problems

Missing these critical growth windows can lead to longer treatment and less ideal results. Let’s help your child grow into a confident, healthy smile.
