Early examination allows orthodontists to detect and evaluate problems. The American Association of Orthodontist recommends that every child get a check-up with an orthodontist if a particular problem has been noted by the parent, family dentist, child{s physician or at age seven. After this check-up, the orthodontist may schedule periodic appointments to monitor facial growth and tooth eruption or initiate preventative treatment. Early treatments can prevent serious problems from developing, achieve optimal results unattainable when growth is complete, and speed completion of future treatment.The American Dental Association requires dentists to have at least two years of advanced training in an accredited program to become an orthodontist. This training teaches the skills required to manage tooth movement and guide facial development.
