Orthodontics for Children
Though an orthodontist can enhance a smile at any age, there is an optimal time period to begin orthodontic treatment for children. Fitting kids with braces early on ensures the greatest result and the least amount of time and expense. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that the initial orthodontic evaluation should occur at the first sign of orthodontic problems or no later than age 7. At this early age, orthodontic treatment may not be necessary, but vigilant examination can anticipate the most advantageous time to begin treatment.
Adult Orthodontic Treatments
Braces aren’t just for kids anymore. Tooth alignment can be changed at any age if your gums and bone structure are healthy. We offer a variety of orthodontic treatments that are designed for different age groups – including adults. A new smile can begin today.
Types Of Braces
Thanks to today’s technology, patients now have more options when it comes to wearing braces. While regular metal braces are still widely used, clear braces are becoming increasingly popular along with removable appliances that can be used for mild cases of misaligned teeth.
