Interceptive Treatment for Children

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children have their first orthodontic checkup by age seven.

Dr. Edwards’s goal is to catch potential problems in their early stages, and then guide growth and development. He strives for no teeth extractions, where possible, so early intervention is the key.

In a child’s early years, their teeth and jawline are undergoing significant growth so they are more easily aligned than when their jaw is set later.

Appropriate early interceptive care often makes the second phase of treatment easier and more comfortable for the patient.

Make an appointment for a consult for your child to see if there is any early treatment that could be beneficial. Your child’s smile is our number one concern.
