Prepare for your childhood dentofacial orthopedics assessment: compare alternatives, understand care and know what to ask about your quote.
Orthopedics assesses jaw growth; orthodontics focuses on moving teeth and reviewing the bite. They may be coordinated according to diagnosis and the child’s stage.
| Approach | Assessment | Timing |
|---|---|---|
| Childhood observation | Dental development and bite. | Reviews according to the case. |
| Orthopedics / early intervention | Growth and appliance goals. | When diagnosis indicates it. |
| Orthodontics | Tooth position and movements. | According to present teeth and needs. |
The AAO recommends an orthodontic check-up by age 7, or earlier if a problem is noticed. At BE SMILE, Dr. Mafer Pantoja and the team assess development and explain whether observation or treatment is appropriate.
It depends on goals, growth and use of the prescribed appliance. The team explains the planned phase and whether another stage may be needed later.
Follow wear, cleaning and storage instructions. Help your child with hygiene and report breakage, loss or significant discomfort.
BE SMILE prepares a quote after assessment. Cost considers: Diagnosis, appliance type, indicated phase and check-ups; ask about possible later stages. Reception confirms the first consultation fee before booking.
Ask reception about payment methods and current terms or promotions for your plan. Availability is confirmed directly with the clinic; request inclusions, terms and total cost in writing.
Waiting is not necessary for the first assessment. Early evaluation determines whether observation or intervention is appropriate.
No. Assessment may lead to observation. Appliances are proposed with a goal explained to the family.
This cannot be promised. Later orthodontic treatment may be needed according to development and response.
It depends on appliance and plan. Follow the prescribed schedule and discuss difficulties adhering to it.
Discuss biting difficulties, teeth that do not meet, persistent habits or concerning changes. Assessment identifies the cause and options.
