For Children and Adults
Adults
Orthodontic treatment can be successful at all ages. Our oldest patient is 73 years young! Adults can appreciate the emotional and physical benefits of a beautiful smile, healthy gums and comfortable chewing function. Braces can help your family dentist properly prepare you for cosmetic restorative dentistry and correct your jaw alignment. Talk to your family dentist to find out if orthodontic treatment will help you achieve your smile potential.
Kids
It's best for Dr. Sabatino to see you by age 7. He can advise you and your parents if orthodontic treatment is required, when the timing is best, or if braces are needed at all.
By identifying and intercepting growth problems at an early age, Dr. Sabatino can guide the growth of the jaw and guide incoming permanent teeth. Early treatment can
- Regulate the width and length of the upper and lower dental arches
- Gain space for permanent teeth
- Avoid the need for permanent tooth extractions
- Reduce the likelihood of impacted permanent teeth
- Correct thumb-sucking
- Eliminate abnormal swallowing or speech problems
