Early Treatment

FOR KIDS AGES 6 TO 12

 

Along with the American Association of Orthodontists, Dr. Pool recommends that all children have an orthodontic examination around age 7. While most are not ready for orthodontic treatment at this age, Dr. Pool can check for developing teeth and jaw problems that are often not detected at the dentist. We provide this initial exam at no cost, so there’s no financial obstacle to getting the information you need to make good decisions about your child’s orthodontic health.

Your child’s exam may reveal that there is reason to start treatment right away, put treatment off to the future or simply keep an eye on things. Many children will be placed in our growth and development program, with periodic no-cost appointments to monitor growth and ad any issues at the optimal time.

It’s important to know that it’s never too late to start orthodontic treatment. The benefits of a beautiful smile and a bite that functions correctly are important at any age. So don’t despair if you’ve never had your child examine, just get in touch to schedule their initial, complimentary consultation today.
