Do you want the BEST SMILE for your child with the LEAST amount of EFFORT? Then, please, read on...
Seven through ten is the ideal time to use simple, yet highly effective
treatment techniques to PREVENT children from needing extensive orthodontic
treatment during adolescence. Children in this age
range show clear signs of
the jaw growth problems that lead to crowded
teeth and poor bite relationships. Preventive treatment can correct these growth
problems and allow the permanent teeth to erupt into jaws that are the ideal
size and in the correct relationship to each other. For
this reason, the American Association of Orthodontists advises that all children be screened by an orthodontist by age seven.
At FMY Orthodontics, we provide a dynamic, caring environment where our younger patients can feel comfortable and have fun during their treatment. We encourage cooperation by rewarding patients with prizes (like sports bottles, yo-yos, and frisbees) when they have brushed well and taken good care of their appliances. Promotional events, like our annual West Tennessee Diamond Jaxx Family Night, also help to reward patients for a job well done.
