Orthodontic Treatment

Early Treatment

The recommended age to see an orthodontist is no later than age 7. Although it is best to wait for all of the permanent teeth to be in before starting orthodontic treatment, there are a few occasions when early intervention is needed to help prevent abnormal wear of teeth, injury to protruding teeth, correct damaging habits, or jaw disproportions. Underbites, overbites, and crowding are also main concerns that can be evaluated during your visit and Dr. Baker can make sure you or your child are treated at the most appropriate age.

At your complimentary consultation, Dr. Baker will thoroughly evaluate facial balance and any orthodontic needs you may have along with an extensive TMJ (temporomandibular joint) evaluation. Dr. Baker will then determine if orthodontic treatment is indicated and when the best time to begin treatment would be.

Dr. Baker will give you the information needed to understand what the orthodontic concerns are, how they can be treated, an estimate of how much it will cost, and the approximate length of treatment time needed to give your child the best possible smile and result.
