What could be more beautiful to you as a parent than your child's smile? An early orthodontic screening assures that your child's smile will be healthy and look its best. Just as your child's first visit to the dentist should occur by age two, the best time for a first visit to the orthodontist is by age seven. It's as easy as saying "cheese!"

Are you curious about what the orthodontist may find? Bite Down Early is a program that allows you to evaluate your child's teeth and make a preliminary assessment of potential bite or alignment problems.

Early orthodontic treatment, if indicated, can help minimize the need for more extensive treatment at a later date, such as extraction of permanent teeth. Early treatment may also help your child's self-esteem - a fragile asset that's so important in growing up.
