Though Dr. Kubik can improve a smile at any stage in life, sometimes it is most beneficial to begin treatment at an earlier age. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends visiting the orthodontist by age 7 or at the first sign of orthodontic problems. At this young age, orthodontic treatment may not be necessary, but early evaluation helps Dr. Kubik determine when is the best time to begin treatment.
Early evaluation provides both timely detection of problems and greater opportunity for more effective treatment. Intervention at a young age can guide growth and development, preventing serious problems later. When orthodontic intervention is not necessary, Dr. Kubik can carefully monitor growth and development to begin treatment when it is ideal.
Orthodontics does much more than make a pretty smile it creates a healthier you! According to studies by the American Association of Orthodontists, untreated orthodontic problems can result in a variety of issues. Crowded teeth, protruding teeth, crossbites, and openbites increase the chances for tooth decay and gum disease, as well as accidental chipping of teeth, speech impediments, and unfavorable growth patterns. Early orthodontic intervention can help your child avoid a wide range of teeth and jaw problems.
