American Association of Orthodontists recommend you should schedule your child’s first appointment by age 7.  Orthodontic treatment and a child’s growth can complement each other.  By timing orthodontic treatment to predictable stages of dental development, the orthodontist may be able to take advantage of your child’s growth and development.  Some problems that can be treated quite well in a growing child may require corrective surgery or permanent teeth to be extracted if treated after growth has occurred.

Your Orthodontist will thoroughly explain your options to you after he completes the exam, and will recommend the best course of treatment. You’ll learn the answers to five important questions during your consultation appointment, including:

• Is there an orthodontic issue, and if so, what is it?
• What treatment is needed to correct the problem? Can braces and/or Invisalign correct the problem?
• Will any teeth need to be removed?
• How long will treatment take?
• How much will treatment cost?

Learn more about what you can expect at your first visit.

We can only determine treatment costs after your initial consultation is completed, as each patient’s case is unique.

You can learn more about our Financing & Insurance policies page, or speak to one of our staff members at the office. We’ll review your financing options with you, and will work with you to maximize your insurance benefits.

Nope! If you think you or your child needs braces, you may be surprised to learn you do not need a referral from your dentist. You can make an appointment with Curtis Orthodontics any time to discuss your orthodontic needs and set up a treatment plan.

It is also important to note that if your dentist does make a referral, you do not need to choose that orthodontist. You’re free to see anyone you feel can do the best job for you.

This doesn’t mean your dentist is not an important part of your care. He or she definitely is. It is important to continue to see your dentist throughout your orthodontic care.

With or without a referral, you should bring your child for an complimentary orthodontic consultation by age 7, as the American Association of Orthodontists recommends. Examining children before all the permanent teeth have erupted help an orthodontist to correct problems that would be more difficult and costly to address later.
