Early Orthodontic Treatment in Canton, GA
One of the most common questions we hear from parents is when their child should first come in to see us. We love this question, as it shows that parents are thinking ahead for their children's future - a mindset crucial to a long lasting, healthy smile. Along with the American Association of Orthodontists, we ask that parents bring their children to see us by age 7. While we may not need to start treatment at this time, by this age the back bite is established, allowing us to spot any current or potential orthodontic problems and determine the best time to begin treatment.
Sometimes, though, interceptive treatment is necessary. This early intervention can help us stem any major problems before they develop in severity, and we can take advantage of the malleability of a child's mouth to expedite treatment at this stage.
What Will Happen During My Child's First Visit?
At your child's initial examination, Dr. Smith will perform a thorough orthodontic evaluation, identifying any current or developing problems such as open bite, gummy smile, or crowding. If problems are severe enough or there may be a significant issue developing, we may recommend interceptive treatment. If Phase I treatment is necessary, we'll discuss your options in detail and thoroughly answer any questions you may have.
Early Treatment Reviews
Both of my children are patients of Dr. Smith, we couldn’t be more happy with him! The service is great and he is always so caring
Been a great experience w Smile Smile Ortho thus far. My child has braces w an expander. Everyone has been very nice & appointments have been efficient. A big plus is that they accept our dental insurance bc many dentists & orthodontists do not accept any insurance plans so it’s nice to have options. Would definitely recommend Dr Smith & this practice to others in the community!
Smith Smiles (both locations) is outstanding! My youngest daughter, Santi, had her braces done there and always received the best service. My oldest daughter was in a terrible car accident which resulted in some dental issues and Dr. Jerry fit us in at the last minute, did what needed to be done and referred us to 2 outstanding specialists to take us forward! Dr. Jerry’s entire staff is top notch!
Staff is professional and helpful, and the providers take great time and care to be sure the treatment plan is on track.They’re also very patient with patients who may be tired of braces!! Lol
They are great people, honest and operate with integrity. I recommend them to anyone who is looking for a change in their smile.Dr. Gerald and his team were very professional!My experience: I came in wanting to get braces and they first did a consultation, talked about payment plans and then I got them put on the same day! Highly recommended.
