Early orthodontic treatment is advantageous because a young child’s teeth have not finished erupting and their jaws are still developing. This allows us to guide the rest of their adult teeth as they come in and fix any jaw size or alignment issues before they become more serious.

Early orthodontic treatment can:

• Provide more room for crowded erupting teeth
• Preserve space for teeth that have not yet erupted
• Create facial symmetry by manipulating jaw growth
• Reduce the possible need for tooth extraction
• Reduce the overall treatment time
• Reduce the cost of braces for kids when the time comes
