Catching Smile Problems Early, Around Age 7
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first orthodontic checkup by age 7, and there is a good reason for that timing. Around then, enough adult teeth have arrived for Dr. Bowman to spot crowding, crossbites, and jaw-growth patterns while they are still easy to guide. For some Niceville kids that means a short Phase 1 (early) treatment that makes room for incoming teeth; for most, it simply means a free growth-check visit now and then until the timing is right. Either way, nothing gets missed and nothing gets rushed.

Kids Braces in Niceville FAQ
Can my child get braces at the Niceville office?
Yes, with one honest caveat: the first consultation always happens at our Fort Walton Beach office at 28 Racetrack Road NW, where the exam and digital scan equipment live. After treatment begins, regular adjustment visits can be scheduled at our Niceville office at 704 N Palm Blvd.
Is age 7 really the right time for a first orthodontic visit?
That is the American Association of Orthodontists guideline, and we follow it. It rarely means braces at 7. Most kids join a simple growth-monitoring schedule, and treatment starts only when their development says it is time.
What will braces cost for a Niceville family?
You get an exact quote at the free consultation, never a surprise later. Interest-free in-house payment plans start at $189 a month, most insurance is accepted, and CareCredit is available. Paying in full earns a discount.
Can we schedule around the school day?
Yes. We hold after-school appointment times at both offices so kids miss as little class as possible, and text reminders keep every visit on your radar.
