At Hiller Orthodontics, we understand the importance of early orthodontic intervention. Our specialized treatments for younger patients are designed to address and prevent dental issues before they become more complex.
The Importance of Early Orthodontics
Early orthodontic treatment, often known as Phase-One Orthodontics, is crucial for children. Recognizing the significance of this stage, the American Association of Orthodontists® recommends that children receive an orthodontic evaluation by the age of 7. This early assessment focuses on guiding the growth of the jaw and teeth, aiming to prevent and correct potential irregularities as a child grows. By taking this proactive approach, our orthodontist can simplify or even eliminate the need for more extensive orthodontic treatment later in life, setting the foundation for a healthy, beautiful smile.
What to Expect With Early Orthodontics
The journey begins with a thorough evaluation to assess your child’s orthodontic needs. Dr. Hiller then crafts a customized treatment plan focused on gentle, effective correction and monitoring. Regular follow-ups ensure progress is on track, adjusting the treatment as your child grows.
