Many orthodontic problems are actually preventable if they’re caught early enough. That’s why children as young as age 7 should see an orthodontist. Dr. Crandall believes in interceptive orthodontics to detect and correct such problems with early treatment. By guiding jaw development while they’re growing, Dr. Crandall can make room for your child’s permanent teeth, correct over- and underbites and help avoid the need for surgical correction in the future. Interceptive orthodontics can also save you money by helping prevent the need for costly treatment when you child grows older.
