Interceptive orthodontics
Early Intervention & Treatment = Prevention
Interceptive orthodontics can prevent future dental issues. Dr. Keyan Botsford's goal of early treatment is to correct any issues that could potentially affect your child’s jaw growth.
The American Association of Orthodontists recommend that children have their first check-up with an orthodontist by age 7. At Botsford Family Orthodontics, Dr. Keyan Botsford can recognize orthodontic problems even in their earliest stages.
Dr. Keyan Botsford is a mother and treats every child as her own. You can trust that she will take great care of your little one’s orthodontic issues.
Early treatment allows your orthodontist to:
- Correct and guide the growth of your child’s jaw to help build a great foundation for the permanent teeth
- Regulate the width of the upper and lower arches
- Create more space for crowded teeth
- Help in the prevention of permanent tooth extractions later in life
- Correct thumb-sucking and help improve minor speech problems
If your child is older than 7, it’s not too late to correct problems you may be noticing with their smile or bite. If you’re unsure, schedule a complimentary consultation to get Dr. Keyan Botsford's assessment to prevent problems before they start.
