HOW DOES PREVENTIVE ORTHODONTICS WORK?
At Foundation Orthodontics, we specialize in early orthodontics for kids in Denver, Granby and Winter Park. While we agree with the American Association of Orthodontists that a first orthodontic visit should happen no later than seven years old, preventive orthodontics can actually start much earlier.
Bite issues, also known as malocclusion, can be identified as early as age two. By intervening at this crucial developmental stage, Dr. Renee Moran can assess and diagnose your child’s potential for orthodontic issues, ultimately preventing the need for more extensive orthodontic treatment in the future.
At your free, no obligation orthodontic consultation, Dr. Moran will assess your child’s mouth to identify potential problems and, if necessary, create a holistic treatment plan for jaw and bite correction. The point of preventive orthodontics is in the name: to stop orthodontic issues before they start and help your child establish a strong oral health foundation for life.
