Early Treatment

Dr. Atoosa Nikaeen believes every child deserves a smile equal in beauty to their laughter and ability to love. Unfortunately, many children experience orthodontic problems that develop early in life. Dr. Nikaeen specializes in early care so any problems can be corrected before they become more difficult as a child ages.

The American Association of Orthdontics recommends a child be screened by a qualified orthodontist by the age of seven.

Early treatment offers many advantages, perhaps most importantly that it will shorten, simplify and improve the permanence of any required treatment in later life.

Other advantages include:

  • Proper jaw development
  • Optimal smile width
  • Avoiding jaw surgery in later life
  • Improved self esteem
  • Correction of any harmful oral habits
  • Guiding permanent teeth into their optimal position
  • Reducing the risk of trauma to protruding front teeth
  • Reserving or adding space for permanent teeth
  • Avoiding damage to jaw joints
  • Reduce the need for extraction and impaction of permanent teeth
