A
Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics,
provides orthodontic treatment for adults, adolescents
and children. We follow the guidelines established
by the American Association of Orthodontists by
recommending that an orthodontic evaluation take
place at age 7 for all children. This early evaluation
can help to determine the best time to begin any
necessary treatment.
Many progressive
treatments are now available for patients 7 to
11 years of age, that provide significant benefits,
especially when jaw irregularities are present.
These treatments may also prevent certain conditions
from worsening. Treating children with these types
of problems during their growth stages allows
our practice to achieve results that may not be
possible when face and jaw bones have fully developed.
This early treatment can simplify or eliminate
additional treatment for the child.
Treatment typically lasts from 6 to 30 months,
depending on age and the severity of the orthodontic
problem. Outstanding results are also dependent
on maximizing the coordination of care between
you and our practice. We are committed to delivering
the best possible service in order for you to
achieve your orthodontic objectives.
