It is never too late or too early to think about orthodontics. Whether your child is just starting grade school or college, we would like to give you the information necessary for your child to have a beautiful smile that lasts a lifetime.
With the addition of pediatric dentist Dr. Brad Wilkinson, our practice now offers a traditional braces method that is not only effective but also one of the most cost-efficient options available. Normal silver braces excel in treating a wide range of dental issues, making them a reliable choice for achieving a straight, beautiful smile. Plus, their durability ensures a smooth and efficient treatment process.
We begin evaluating for orthodontic needs between the ages of 5-7 depending on the eruption of the front permanent teeth.
The advantages of early treatment include:
- Moving the front teeth back so they will be less susceptible to injury.
- Improving the relationship of upper and lower jaws, allowing more normal future growth and development.
- Using maximum advantage of growth for successful treatment.
- Improving facial appearance and self esteem.
- Taking advantage of the good cooperation of patients at this age.
- Possibly avoiding or reducing the need for further treatment when patients are older.
