No, it is not.
Many of our patients are referred by their family dentist, yet many other patients take the initiative to schedule an examination themselves.
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an orthodontic screening at age 7. By this age, several permanent teeth in most children have erupted, allowing us to effectively evaluate your orthodontic condition.
No, they will not.
The space available for the front teeth does not increase as you grow.
In most people, after the permanent molars erupt, the space available for the front teeth decreases with age.

A Proxabrush is an interdental (between the teeth) toothbrush that you may use to clean underneath and around your wires and braces.

The appearance and function of your teeth are impacted by this type of bite.
It is characterized by the upper teeth extending too far forward or the lower teeth not extending far enough forward.
The upper front teeth extend out over the lower front teeth, sometimes causing the lower front teeth to bite into the roof of the mouth.
The upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth, which may cause tooth stratification and misaligned jaw growth.
Proper chewing is impacted by this type of bite, in which the upper and lower front teeth do not overlap.

We brought our grandson in for a second opinion, free consult, but were treated like valued patients.
Everyone in the office was very cordial and helpful in helping us understand the options available for us.
We were most impressed by the fact that honesty prevailed.
We were not being persuaded to do treatment that was not necessary.
Thank you so much.
We appreciate your concern for your patients.
The concept for the Pitts office is beyond anything I've seen in any doctors office. of course the huge professional staff is amazing, but the thinking out of the floor plan and waiting room is fantastic.
