Benefits

Skeletal Changes of Jaw Structure

Skeletal changes of jaw structure can only be achieved at a young age before development is complete.

Shorter Treatment Time

Early treatment can intercept serious problems from developing and make treatment at a later age shorter and less complicated.

Oral Habits

Long-term destructive habits such as thumb sucking can lead to permanent skeletal modifications making future correction extremely difficult.

Does everyone need early childhood treatment?

Absolutely not! Only certain orthodontic problems require early intervention. In fact, most of our patients are able to wait until most if not all of their permanent teeth erupt to begin their orthodontic treatment.

Does my child need early treatment?

While most children can achieve a beautiful smile in their teenage years, it doesn’t work in all situations. Request an appointment with Dr. Wood to determine if early childhood treatment is a good option for you,
