The Sweet Spot for Smile Development
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.
Step 1: Complete Orthodontic Records
We take a full set of orthodontic X-rays and high resolution photos to evaluate your child’s bite, alignment, jaw position, and facial symmetry. This is not your average dental exam. This is a comprehensive evaluation of growth and aesthetics.

Step 2: Growth Assessment with Dr. Alex
You’ll meet directly with Dr. Alex, Maui’s board certified orthodontist. He will assess your child’s dental and facial structure, review the images, and answer any questions you may have.
Step 3: In Depth Diagnosis and Treatment Goals
Dr. Alex will walk you through what’s happening beneath the surface from jaw growth to tooth development. Whether it’s simply monitoring or recommending early treatment, he’ll answer all your questions with honesty and care so you feel confident in every step forward.
Step 4: Treatment Options, Time, and Financing
Most kids won’t need any treatment right now and if that’s the case, we’ll simply monitor growth over time. But if early treatment is needed, we’ll walk you through options like Phase I braces and a palate expander. You’ll get a clear timeline and we’ll review flexible, interest free financing so everything feels manageable and stress free.
Step 5. Growth Monitoring or Begin Treatment
For most kids, we’ll schedule a free 6 month growth monitoring appointment. And if early treatment is recommended, we may begin by scanning for a palate expander or other appliance.
