Braces at Any Age

Orthodontists can improve smiles at any age. An early examination allows Dr. Kirchhoff to determine how and when a patient’s particular problem should be treated for maximum improvement, requiring the least amount of time and providing the greatest benefit. Regardless of age, the biological process involved in tooth movement is similar in adults and children. The health of your teeth, gums, and supporting bone are important considerations for improving your smile and dental health.

Do you have a child approaching his or her seventh birthday? If you do, it’s time to make an appointment with Dr. Kirchhoff. Even though your child may not require braces at this time, an early examination will allow Dr. Kirchhoff to determine if and when your child will have problems.
