Early Orthodontic Treatment
Guiding jaw and tooth growth while a child is still growing.
What it is
Aligner checks are short appointments that come round often. Having them in town is the difference between finishing and quitting.
At Post Family Dentistry, we believe early intervention is key to preventing complex dental issues. Dr. Xochitl Anderton, DDS, provides early orthodontic evaluations and treatment for children to guide proper jaw and tooth development.
What it does for you
Promotes proper jaw growth
Adjusting the jaw's size to accommodate emerging teeth can prevent future alignment problems.
Corrects bad oral habits
Early treatment can address habits like thumb sucking that may contribute to developmental issues.
Improves future outcomes
Simplifies later treatments by addressing issues before they become more severe.
Boosts self-esteem
Enhancing smile aesthetics can significantly improve a child's confidence.
