With the country still in a recession, many folks are putting off visiting the orthodontist for a consultation. We hear all the reasons - vacations, chores, emergencies, et cetera. Today, Dr. Moles and our staff at Moles Orthodontics thought we'd give our prospective patients five reasons to visit our office this summer for an orthodontic consultation.1) Tooth damage - Unfortunately due to eruption or the bite, teeth can become permanently damaged without the patient even knowing that it's happening. The sooner it is discovered the sooner it can be stopped.
2) Growth - For some patients that need changes to jaw shape or position there is often a window of opportunity during growth when it is the best time to do that. Once that time has passed the correction becomes harder or even impossible.
3) Scheduling - If teeth need to be removed it's often easier to schedule before school starts.
4) School - Patients don't need to miss school if the examination appointment is done in the summertime.
5) Getting done - The sooner that treatment is started the sooner it is finished.
And here's another reason: did you know the American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children receive an orthodontic consultation as early as age seven? Give us a call at 414-529-4044 to schedule a consultation! Happy Monday!
