Why Early Orthodontic Treatments?
Orthodontic care is now available to younger children, providing the opportunity to address skeletal changes while their bone structure is still developing, which can optimize results and reduce the risk of injuries to protruding teeth. Early Orthodontics, typically starting between ages 7 and 10, focuses on correcting severe issues like rotated or protruding incisors, crossbites, or teeth erupting in the wrong direction. While this two-phase approach involves more time and cost, it is reserved for children who will benefit most from early intervention. Not all children require early treatment, but an initial consultation helps determine the best plan for your child, ensuring a healthy, straight smile as they grow.
