If your child has a crooked smile, the problem may continue and even complicate development in adolescence. Though orthodontists used to wait to place braces until all of a child’s permanent teeth had come in, advanced technology has changed our methods. Kraus Orthodontics can get your child on the path to a healthy, straight smile now. With leading-edge technology and our skilled team, we can see the structure of your child’s teeth and discover any problems before teeth have even begun to come in. Knowing about issues like misalignment or faulty bone structure ahead of time will help us determine a corrective treatment to help your child’s adult teeth come in straighter. Early therapy also prevents problems that can affect jaw and face structure, and can start your child on a path to good oral health. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7b703314d53c2873906e75/1612815062953-TTVMBBCXHYUX8ABKTRS0/NTO+Junior.jpg Juniors - Orthodontic Care for Kids If you have questions, or if you would like to know more about early stage correction, call us today.
