The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children be examined by an orthodontist by the age of 7. Your consultation with Dr. Tardy gives her the opportunity to identify in advance emerging teeth and jaw growth. Many orthodontic problems are easier to correct when they are found early.
OLDER CHILDREN & TEENAGE CHECK-UPS
Children over the age of 7 and teenagers should be seen as soon as possible by Dr. Tardy to evaluate dental and facial development. The preferred time to treat a child is while they are still growing. This gives us the greatest opportunity to achieve the desired results.
ADULT OPTIONS
It is never too late for an orthodontic evaluation. Many adults are taking advantage of the benefits of orthodontics to improve their smile, teeth, jaw function and self esteem. There are clear brackets and several other cosmetic appliance solutions available to reduce the visibility of your orthodontic treatment.
