PRE-ORTHODONTIC OBSERVATION PROGRAM

If your child is not quite ready for orthodontic treatment yet, he or she will be placed into our complimentary Pre-Orthodontic Observation Program, which we like to call the Davidson Orthodontics KIDS Club. As a parent, you will have the peace of mind that Dr. Davidson is monitoring your child’s growth and dental development closely so that orthodontic treatment is started proactively at the right time for them. Early detection can minimize more extensive and lengthy treatment at a later age and can achieve results that are unattainable once the face and jaws have finished growing.

KIDS CLUB BENEFITS

As a courtesy to our patients, we will call you every 6-12 months to schedule a complimentary evaluation to check for the following:

• That baby teeth are falling out when they should and that the permanent teeth have available space to come in.
• If any problems should be addressed, such as crowding, correction of harmful oral habits, or bad bites that are developing that can influence the jaws to grow unfavorably.
• Identification of any dental or jaw growth problems which would benefit from early treatment before they get too complicated.
• How appearance can be improved by creating a more pleasing arrangement of the teeth, lips and face.

When Dr. Davidson determines that orthodontic problems are significant enough to require treatment, he will develop a treatment plan especially for your child. In doing so, length of treatment, discomfort, and treatment costs can be reduced.
