Orthodontic Observation
Welcome!
Thank you for choosing our office for the orthodontic care of your child. We enjoyed meeting you today and hope that your visit was thorough, informative and enjoyable.
Treatment Timing
One of the things that make our office special is our careful attention to the individual needs of each parent and child, especially when making the important decision on when to start braces. You can be sure that Dr. Schwitz will always answer this question with your child's health in mind, just like he would for his own children.
Your Observation Visits
Dr. Schwitz will follow your child's dental growth and development until orthodontic treatment is recommended. In this way, any future orthodontic treatment can be made more comfortable, timely, and effective. Your observation visits are every 6-12 months and are complimentary.
Loss of Baby Teeth
It is important to keep these visits, even if it doesn't appear that anything has changed or that any baby teeth have been lost since the last visit. This may be an indication of underlying problems that may need to be addressed, or evaluated with a new panoramic x-ray. Serious problems, including impacted permanent teeth, may be avoided by visiting our office on a regular basis.
Concerns and Questions
Please feel free to call us with any questions or concerns during the observation period; we are only a phone call away!
