Orthodontics

We always put these principles above everything else in our practice daily:

• Family Atmosphere
• Comfortable & Welcoming Environment
• Personalized Care
• Patient Education
• High-Quality Dentistry

The American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) recommends an orthodontic screening for children by the age of 7 years. At age 7 the teeth and jaws are developed enough so that the dentist or orthodontist can see if there will be any serious bite problems in the future. Most of the time treatment is not necessary at age 7, but it gives the parents and dentist time to watch the development of the patient and decide on the best mode of treatment. When you have time on your side you can plan ahead and prevent the formation of serious problems.
