🦷 It's Not Just About Straight Teeth
Many parents assume orthodontics is only about appearance. In reality, orthodontic evaluations can help identify concerns that may affect how a child bites, chews, speaks, and how their jaws develop over time.
Early evaluations can help identify:
✔ Crossbites
✔ Underbites
✔ Severe Crowding
✔ Impacted Teeth
✔ Jaw Growth Concerns
✔ Abnormal Eruption Patterns
The best part? Not every child needs treatment right away.
Many children simply benefit from our complimentary Growth Guidance Program.
Dr. Megann Lear will monitors growth and development at no cost until the timing is right for treatment, if treatment is needed at all.
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends every child have an orthodontic evaluation by age 7.
