CHILDREN

Give your child a head start on a spectacular smile.

What’s the secret to a great smile (and less time spent in braces)? It’s early interceptive orthodontic treatment. This means bringing your child in for an orthodontic exam as early as age 7, while their teeth and facial bones are still growing.

Dr. Robert H. Jones is a highly trained orthodontist who has been safeguarding young smiles since 1990. He can enhance your child’s smile before little problems become big ones. He’ll also do everything possible to ensure that your child spends less time wearing braces.

At approximately age 7, the first permanent teeth begin to replace the baby teeth. Many problems may occur at this age which, if left untreated, can become more difficult to correct later. Or even cause irreparable damage to your child’s permanent teeth. That’s why the American Association of Orthodontists recommends orthodontic exams no later than age 7 to check for the following conditions:

• Excessive wear & chipping of front teeth
• Severe crowding
• Habits: finger/thumb-sucking, tongue-thrusting
• Crossbite of front & back teeth
• Eruption problems & space management

Providing extra attention.

You’ll be glad to know Dr. Jones works with the finest materials to ensure that your child’s braces will fit perfectly and deliver the best results. You’ll also feel comfortable knowing Dr. Jones uses all the latest technology. And that his comprehensive care includes special appliances, palatal expanders and orthopedic devices to correct problems before your child requires expensive treatment or even surgery.

Finally, with Dr. Jones and his compassionate staff, your child will get the above-and-beyond personal attention that can make every visit a relaxing and positive experience.
