Lengthy and expensive orthodontic treatment may be prevented with early intervention.
More than 50% of children have one or more problems with their teeth or jaws. Typical trouble could include front teeth that protrude because of thumbsucking, spaces, badly aligned bites, clicking jaws, and crowded or missing teeth. And even though they can’t all be prevented, they can all be corrected. The key is early orthodontic care.
Between the ages of five and ten, permanent teeth begin to appear, and bones and muscles develop rapidly. This is when we can best influence growth to create the best bite. We can actually prevent some problems from ever developing. That’s why it’s important to bring your child in for a first dental evaluation early. We can do a thorough check and, if necessary, begin early treatment.
