Give your child a head start
on a great smile.
Your child’s secret to a great smile (and less time spent in braces!) is early interceptive orthodontic treatment. This means bringing your child in for an orthodontic exam as early as age 7 – while his or her teeth and facial bones are still growing.
Dr. Jeff Kincaid has over two decades of experience working with children. He can enhance your child’s smile before little problems become big ones. He can also ensure that your child spends a fraction of the usual time wearing braces.
At about age 7, the first permanent teeth begin to replace baby teeth. Many problems may occur at this age which, if left untreated, can become difficult to correct later or even cause irreparable damage to permanent teeth. That’s why the American Association of Orthodontists recommends orthodontic exams no later than age 7 to check for the following conditions:
• Excessive wear & chipping of front teeth
• Severe crowding
• Habits: finger/thumb-sucking, tongue-thrusting
• Crossbite of front & back teeth
• Eruption problems & space management
With Dr. Kincaid and his caring staff, your child will receive above-and-beyond personal attention that can make every visit a relaxing, fun and positive experience. Give your child the best chance for a straight, beautiful smile. |
