Ask Abari Orthodontics: When should my child come in for a consultation?

Great question.

The fact is, many parents in San Dimas, Diamond Bar and surrounding communities assume they must wait until their child has all of his or her permanent teeth to visit Abari Orthodontics, only to find that treatment would have been easier if started earlier. But, did you know our friends at the American Association of Orthodontists recommends that every child have an orthodontic check-up no later than age seven?

Ok, you think to yourself, what’s so great about age seven? Well, at that point, enough permanent teeth have arrived for us to make a determination about whether any problems are present. The first molars have come in, providing an opportunity to check for malocclusion, or what Dr. Robin Abari and Dr. Lawrence Will call “bad bite.” Also, the incisors have begun to come in, and problems such as crowding, deep bites and open bites can be detected.

Early evaluation, of course, may signal a need for early treatment. For some children, early treatment can prevent physical and emotional trauma. Aside from spurring on years of harmful teasing, misaligned teeth are also prone to injury and detrimental to good oral hygiene. So if your child is nearing age 7, please give us a call at 909-396-9000 to schedule a free initial consultation!

We hope you have a great week!

Back to school with Abari Orthodontics

Now that many of the schools are back in session in San Dimas, Diamond Bar and surrounding communities, our staff at Abari Orthodontics would like to remind all of our patients about the importance of scheduling appointments in advance. With school, clubs, sports and family/social functions to consider, we know that it can be challenging to find time to visit our office this fall. In order to accommodate all of our patients' busy schedules, it is important that you plan ahead for your appointments so that we are able to provide you with an appointment time that is convenient for you.

As always, please remember to give us advanced notice if you're unable to make your regularly-scheduled appointment. If we receive enough notice, we might be able to schedule another patient for that time. Feel free to give us a call at 909-895-4914 if you have any questions, or if you would like to schedule your fall appointment.

Have a great rest of the weekend! Drs. Abari and Will, as well as the rest of our staff, look forward to seeing you!
