Services

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that the initial orthodontic evaluation should occur no later than age 7. Receiving early treatment may reduce your child’s need for extractions in the future or jaw surgery. 

If your child is older than 7, it is still not too late to schedule your orthodontic examination. An examination at this stage will allow Dr. Washington to recommend early treatment if necessary. 

Our office also uses advanced technology that reduces the frequency of your visits. This prevents missing school or important events too often.

Problems that may need orthodontic treatment

• Anterior/posterior crossbites (jaw misalignments)
• Severe crowding
• Underbites
• Protrusive teeth
• Finger sucking habit
• Early loss of baby teeth
