For Children
Leave the orthodontic treatment of your child in the expert hands of Dr. Snow. He has been building great smiles since 1971. Dr. Snow and his team of orthodontists has six convenient locations across Southern California. Contact one of our offices today to get started with a complimentary consultation.
It's best for the orthodontist to see children by age seven to advise if orthodontic treatment is required and if it is the best time for that patient to be treated. The first permanent molars and incisors have usually come in by that time and crossbites, crowding, and other problems can be evaluated. When treatment is begun early, the orthodontist can guide the growth of the jaw and guide incoming permanent teeth.
Early treatment can also regulate the width of the upper and lower dental arches, gain space for permanent teeth, avoid the need for permanent tooth extractions, reduce likelihood of impacted permanent teeth, correct thumb-sucking, and eliminate abnormal swallowing or speech problems. In other words, early treatment can simplify later treatment.
