ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT fOR KIDS
When needed, our orthodontists offer early orthodontic treatment options. Early treatment (aka Phase I) can help guide your child’s teeth and jaw development, making future treatment easier and more effective. While most kids with not need early treatment, it saves significant time and cost for those that do. In most cases we will monitor your child’s growth for FREE so we can start treatment at the ideal time and ensure we get the best result.
ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT FOR KIDS
What to Expect
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children visit the orthodontist for their initial evaluation by age 7. Early screening allows us to detect and correct growth-related problems before they become serious. Our goal is to always provide the shortest path of treatment that leads to the best result.
