Has your seven-year-old seen an orthodontist yet?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first evaluation around age seven, while the jaw is still growing and small problems are easier to address. At Anchor Orthodontics, Dr. Courtney Lavigne and Dr. Lauren Cardarelli look at more than teeth. They pay attention to how your child’ s jaw is developing, how they’ re breathing, and whether sleep and growth are tracking the way they should. When something needs a closer look, they coordinate with local general and pediatric dentists, sleep physicians, ENTs and myofunctional therapists. Both are board-certified orthodontists, rooted in Rhode Island. Pediatric exams are complimentary, and no referral is needed.
