Orthodontic treatment is often thought of as something that comes during adolescence, but Dr. Kevin Molldrem explains why early intervention can be beneficial for children in Lakeville. In this article, Dr. Molldrem discusses the benefits of early orthodontic treatment and how it can help guide the growth of your child’s jaw and teeth to prevent more severe problems in the future. Early treatment can address issues like overcrowding, bite problems, and crooked teeth before they become more difficult and expensive to correct. Dr. Molldrem also discusses the types of treatments that may be recommended for younger children, such as space maintainers or expanders, and how they help avoid the need for more invasive procedures later on. If you want to give your child the best start in life with a healthy, straight smile, early orthodontic care could make all the difference.
