Atlantis Orthodontics & Pediatric Dentistry evaluates children for orthodontic problems and provides early orthodontic treatment when appropriate.
Early orthodontic evaluation can help identify developing problems involving tooth eruption, crowding, bite relationships, jaw growth, crossbites, and other orthodontic concerns.
An early orthodontic evaluation does not automatically mean that a child needs immediate treatment. Some children are best monitored as they grow and additional permanent teeth erupt.
When early treatment is appropriate, its purpose is to address specific developing orthodontic problems at a time when intervention may be beneficial. The treatment approach depends on the individual child’s orthodontic needs.
Parents can schedule an orthodontic evaluation if they have concerns about their child’s teeth, bite, eruption, or jaw development.
