TIMELY EVALUATION - The American Association of
Orthodontists recommends, through research, evaluating children at age
7. Often we find developing problems in 7 and 8 year old
children. Caring for it then, with minor treatment, may
well avoid more extensive and costly later treatment. The need for orthodontics
doesn't develop overnight.
ADULT TREATMENT - Straightening overlapped, crooked or protrusive teeth is as appropriate for adults as it is for children. Cosmetic correction of front teeth can take as little as 6 to 8 months. Often teeth need to be moved and repositioned before your dentist can improve your health and cosmetics with restorative techniques, like crowns,bridges or implants. The foundation has to be right to build a long lasting structure. Total treatment time is usually shorter than adolescent treatment. When teeth are moving, feeling pressure is normal. Almost one third of our practice are adults.
