Children's Orthodontics
Orthodontic treatment can benefit children with insufficient jaw size. Up to 80% of children have a jaw that is too small. Orthopedic appliance therapy will expand jaws to the proper size, helping avoid costly and lenghty orthodonitc treatment throughout teenage years. In accordance with the American Association of Orthodontists and the International Association of Orthodontics, we recommend that children have their first orthodontic evaluation by the age of 5. With prevention, early evaluation and diagnosis, chidlren can achieve optiimal orthodontic results. Early treatment has many benefits and often means that a patient may avoid surgery or orther complications in the future.
