A Beautiful Child Is a Healthy Child
Healthy Growth Starts with the Right Bite
The first orthodontic evaluation is recommended at age 5-6, when baby teeth begin transitioning to permanent teeth. This is the critical window to guide proper jaw development — not correct problems later.

With over 15 years of clinical experience, Dr. Liliya Zhernova specializes in pediatric orthodontics and functional facial development.
Her approach goes far beyond straightening teeth — it is about guiding the growth of the child’s face, jaws, and function from an early age.
Our goal is to:

When Should You Take Your Child to an Orthodontist?
Many parents assume that orthodontic treatment begins in the teenage years. However, the most important first visit should happen much earlier — around the age of 5.5 years.
At approximately five and a half, a child enters the stage known as mixed dentition, when both baby teeth and permanent teeth are present. This is a critical window in craniofacial development. During this time, the jaws are still actively growing, and their development can be guided in the right direction.
An early orthodontic evaluation allows the specialist to identify developing issues such as jaw discrepancies, crowding, malocclusion,
or harmful habits (like mouth breathing or thumb sucking). At this stage, treatment is often simpler, more physiological, and highly effective.
The key advantage of early intervention is growth modification. Instead of correcting fully developed problems later in life, the orthodontist can guide the natural development of the jaws and dental arches. This approach can help prevent more complex treatments, extractions, or even surgery in the future.
Delaying the first visit may mean missing this unique developmental window. Once growth slows, treatment becomes more limited and often more invasive.
In summary, the age of 5.5 years is not too early — it is strategically ideal. A timely consultation ensures that your child’s smile develops harmoniously, supporting proper function, aesthetics, and long-term stability.
