The American Association of Orthodontists advises that children have their first orthodontic screening by age 7. At this age, the mix of baby and permanent teeth will show growth and development patterns that will allow Dr. Ellsworth to identify any teeth or jaw disharmony. The earliest detection and correction will save you thousands of dollars. It also helps to eliminate any extractions of permanent teeth during teen years. Dr. Ellsworth can focus on crowding in front teeth and crossbites in back teeth and disharmony between upper and lower jaws. These problems can be corrected easier in only 6 - 18 months.
When teeth are corrected during a child’s early years (referred to as interceptive orthodontics), your child will have a completely functional and beautiful smile before reaching the important milestones of high school – plays, dances, and yearbook photos!
