ORTHODONTIC SERVICES for kids
When needed, our orthodontists offer early orthodontic treatment options. Early treatment (aka Phase I) can help your child correct alignment and bite issues that become more complex as the child ages.
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.
