The dental appointments you set for your kids have many advantages. Early visits help younger children feel at ease with their dentist, and with treatment, and they also provide early guidance to help them learn to properly care for their teeth on their own. These appointments also provide you feedback about the development of your child’s smile, which can lead to timely warnings about concerns like malocclusion. Many kids can benefit from orthodontic services to fix poor spacing. If your teen is nearing an age where they should begin orthodontic treatment, our Shirley, NY orthodontic treatment office can help! For teenagers, we can discuss the use of traditional braces to make improvements, and we can also discuss Invisalign as a treatment option. (more…)
