RIVERVIEW, FL, February 24, 2013 (Press-News.org) Orthodontics is not merely for improving the aesthetics of the smile; orthodontic treatment improves bad bites and aides in overall orthodontic health. At Hess Orthodontics, our innovative orthodontic care of the highest quality and outstanding customer service are earning us the reputation as one of Florida's leading orthodontic practices and we have the smiles to prove it!

The Earlier the Better

Though an orthodontist can enhance a smile at any age, there is an optimal time period to begin treatment. Beginning treatment at this time ensures the greatest result and the least amount of time and expense. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that the initial orthodontic evaluation should occur at the first sign of orthodontic problems or no later than age 7. At this early age, orthodontic treatment may not be necessary, but vigilant examination can anticipate the most advantageous time to begin treatment.

Benefits of Early Evaluation?

Early evaluation provides both timely detection of problems and greater opportunity for more effective treatment. Prudent intervention guides growth and development, preventing serious problems later. When orthodontic intervention is not necessary, an orthodontist can carefully monitor growth and development and begin treatment when it is ideal.

Advantages of Early Treatment?

Some of the most direct results of early treatment are:
- Creating room for crowded, erupting teeth
- Creating facial symmetry
- Reducing the risk of trauma to protruding front teeth
- Preserving space for unerupted teeth
- Reducing the need for tooth removal
- Reducing treatment time with braces

Are You a Candidate for Orthodontic Treatment?

Orthodontics is not merely for improving the aesthetics of the smile; orthodontic treatment improves bad bites which can occur as a result of tooth or jaw misalignment which in turn affects the way you smile, chew, clean your teeth or feel about your smile.
