Your First Trip As soon as the check-up starts, a qualified orthodontist will take a look at a child’s mouth, teeth, and jaw. They might do some mouth exercises to see how your child’s teeth are in action, mostly involving biting their teeth together. There will be follow-up questions to figure out the child’s eating patterns or if they have chewing issues or even clicking in their jaws.
