About Growth Assessment

What Is a Growth Assessment?

A growth assessment is a periodic dental evaluation that tracks how a child's jaw is growing and how their bite is developing as baby teeth are gradually replaced by permanent teeth. It looks at spacing, alignment, jaw relationship and any early warning signs of orthodontic problems.

Because a child's jaw is still growing, many bite issues are far easier — and sometimes faster — to correct at this stage than after growth is complete. At PRALASH, growth assessment is a key part of comprehensive pediatric dental care.

Step-by-Step

How Growth Assessment Works

Clinical Examination

We examine tooth eruption pattern, spacing, midline and how the upper and lower jaws meet.

Bite & Jaw Relationship Check

We assess whether the jaws are growing proportionately and whether the bite is developing normally.

X-ray (If Needed)

An X-ray may be taken to check unerupted teeth positions or root development in more detail.

Findings Discussion

We explain what's normal, what needs watching, and what — if anything — needs early treatment.

Ongoing Monitoring Plan

We set a review schedule to track growth over time and act early if issues develop.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

A growth assessment is a periodic evaluation of a child's jaw growth, bite relationship and the transition from baby teeth to permanent teeth. It helps identify orthodontic issues at the earliest, most treatable stage.

It is recommended around age 7, when the first permanent molars and front teeth have typically erupted, making it possible to spot developing bite or spacing issues early.

A routine visual and clinical exam is usually sufficient, but an X-ray may be recommended if the dentist needs to assess unerupted teeth, jaw relationships or root positions in more detail.

Depending on the finding, we may recommend simple monitoring, a habit breaking appliance, space maintenance, or early (interceptive) orthodontic treatment to guide growth in the right direction.

Yes, for many children. Some bite and jaw issues are far easier to correct while the jaw is still growing. Catching them early can reduce the complexity, duration and sometimes even the need for future orthodontic treatment.

A growth assessment costs ₹500-₹1,500, with X-rays (if needed) at ₹500-₹1,500 additional. Call +91 99005 17699 to schedule your child's assessment.
