EARLY TREATMENT
 Early orthodontic treatment (before all of the permanent teeth have come in) is an incredible service that we are very proud to offer. Many orthodontic problems are actually less severe when they're discovered early. We can detect and correct such problems with early intervention. The American Association of Orthodontics recommends an evaluation by age 7. This complimentary evaluation will help us establish a baseline in your child's development and allow us to monitor his or her future orthodontic needs. We treat our patients as we would our own family. Conservative orthodontic care is what we choose for our children and we want to treat you and your children with the same courtesy. Starting a patient's care too soon can be detrimental to normal growth and development. We promise that we will begin orthodontic treatment at the time that is appropriate for your child.
