At Allen Orthodontics, we provide various kinds of dental treatments depending on your age and requirements.
- Early treatment
According to the American Association of Orthodontists, kids should have an initial orthodontic screening at age 7. It is important to treat orthodontic problems at an early age as it produces the best results in the most efficient way. This will also help prevent bad habits such as thumb sucking. - Adolescent treatment
Orthodontic problems become harder to treat with age. It is easier to treat many orthodontic problems during adolescence because the body is still growing rapidly at this time. - Adult treatment
Orthodontic treatment for adults is different than that of a growing child as the development of the jaw is complete in adults. Periodontal (gum) disease is more prevalent in adults than in children. To improve your periodontal health, you must have regular professional dental cleaning and maintain good oral hygiene.
