Early Signs That Your Child
Might Need Orthodontic Intervention
Identifying the need for orthodontic intervention in children can be challenging due to subtle signs. Nevertheless, early intervention is crucial to effectively address issues like poor oral resting postures and crowded teeth, especially while baby teeth are still present. Tackling these concerns during the active growth phase in children promotes a return to more normal growth and development. At Davis Dental, we prioritize early intervention to ensure optimal oral health for your child’s future.
