Early Treatment

The American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) recommends seeing an orthodontist by the age of 7 to see if your child can benefit from treatment. Early treatment can simplify the eruption pattern and alignment of developing adult teeth and in some cases do away with the need for orthodontic treatment during teen years. Many times developing adult teeth get blocked by neighboring teeth or erupt into crossbite with opposing teeth leading to a destructive bite. We can evaluate as early as age 7 to see if any unwanted problems exist that can be avoided with early treatment
