 | When you visit our office for an initial orthodontic evaluation, Dr. Kai will perform a comprehensive examination to determine if orthodontic treatment is needed and present the initial findings to you that same day. During the exam, he will evaluate jaw, teeth and facial growth to determine if now is the best time to begin orthodontic treatment. |
| Where indicated, early treatment or interceptive treatment may be recommended to guide facial growth and tooth eruption to prevent more serious problems from developing. Early intervention frequently makes the completion of treatment at a later age easier and less time consuming. A variety of early treatment appliances are now available to help your child correct an orthodontic problem. One example is an appliance that expands the palate while the jaw and face are still growing to make room for more teeth and create a broader smile. |  |
