ABOUT EARLY TREATMENT
The American Association of Orthodontists recommend your child see an orthodontist by age 7. Although many children will not require braces at an early age, for some an early orthodontic treatment is needed to prevent or intercept developing problems. Our observation visits are complimentary and provide you with peace of mind that your child is on the right track. If your child is in need of an early treatment, it can facilitate proper chewing, address developing social concerns and prevent dental fracture of the front teeth. An early treatment is often referred to by your orthodontist as a Phase I treatment. Learn more about common problems to look for in your child.
