At Scott Family Orthodontics, we prioritize the health and beauty of your child’s smile through early orthodontic treatment. Early intervention can prevent more severe issues down the road, ensuring a smoother path to a perfect smile. Our experienced orthodontist and team are dedicated to providing gentle, effective care tailored to each child’s unique needs.
The American Association of Orthodontists® recommends that children have their first orthodontic screening by age seven. At this age, we can identify potential problems and intervene early, which can make treatment easier and more effective. Early orthodontic treatment can guide the growth of the jaw, ensuring that emerging permanent teeth have the space they need to come in properly.
When you bring your child in for a consultation, Dr. Jason Scott will perform a comprehensive examination and discuss the best treatment options with you. We believe in a collaborative approach, ensuring you are informed and comfortable with every step of the process.
Early orthodontic treatment offers several key benefits, including:
- Creating Space: It can help provide more room for crowded teeth to emerge naturally, reducing the likelihood of future extractions.
- Guiding Growth: Treatment can help guide jaw growth, promoting facial symmetry and a balanced bite.
- Preventing Problems: By addressing issues early, we can prevent more severe problems from developing, saving time and money in the long run.
- Reducing Treatment Time: Early treatment can often reduce the overall time needed for orthodontic care later.
We offer a range of treatment options, including both removable and fixed appliances, designed to suit the specific needs of each child. Our goal is to make the process as comfortable and stress-free as possible, ensuring your child feels at ease during their visits.
