Pediatric orthodontics has changed a lot since your own teenage years. The first assessment is now done from the age of 7 – not to treat immediately, but to observe growth and intervene at the right time. <\/span><\/p>\n This page brings together the questions that parents ask us most often at our clinic in Vaudreuil-Dorion, 35 km west of Montreal.
