What Do Orthodontic Screenings Entail?

At Dental Masters, orthodontic screenings provide a thorough evaluation of your child's dental health. During the screening, our professionals will inspect your child's teeth for any developmental issues and examine their jaw alignment. We'll also evaluate facial symmetry, look for signs of crowding or spacing between teeth, and check for impacted teeth. Additionally, we can provide advice on how to maintain healthy gums and teeth through proper hygiene habits.


The information gathered from these screenings helps dentists determine if any orthodontic care is necessary and offers insight into the best plan of action for your child's dental health.

When Should My Child Get an Orthodontic Screening?

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children receive an orthodontic screening by age 7. At this stage, most permanent teeth have grown in and any underlying issues can be identified and addressed quickly and efficiently. 

Why Are Orthodontic Screenings Important?

Early detection and preventative care are key in helping children develop a healthy smile. Orthodontic screenings can reveal potential problems that could otherwise go undetected, allowing for more timely treatment that minimizes long-term complications. Furthermore, they provide parents with peace of mind knowing their child's dental health is being monitored closely and that any needed treatments are being taken care of in a timely manner.

"I’ve been going to Dental Masters of Alexandria for years and a patient of Dr. Laviola since he started practicing here. He’s very personable, knowledgeable, takes time to explain procedures (I’ve had quite a few!) and is just an amazing dentist. The entire staff is wonderful, always helpful and friendly. Highly recommend!"

Aimee P.

"I have been a patient of Dr. Laviola's for several years now, and this is the best dental practice I have ever been to. Dr. Laviola and the whole team takes extraordinary care to make sure you are always comfortable throughout any cleaning and procedure, both major and minor (I have had both). The entire support team is also great."

Brett E.

"Dr. Laviola explained everything down to the last detail ..Soon after I was getting prepared for a life-changing event with dental implants. The surgery was so simple ..If you follow all instructions on medications there is little to no pain. The dental surgeon is amazing ..Everything from start to finish was done with perfection."
