The American Dental Association (ADA) encourages developing good dental habits at an early age and scheduling regular dental visits helps children get a good start on a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums.
Which is why we decided to finally take our daughter for her first orthodontist consultation. She has been seeing a regular dentist since she was 3 but it was now time to take that pre-teen leap to braces. She is 9 years old and quite the diva…
We decided to seek out Every Kid's Dentist & Orthodontics (at Tatum and Deer Valley) for our orthodontia care. From the moment we walked in the door the office was inviting and kid-friendly and the staff very pleasant and accommodating.
After having our palate expander for about 4 months we were introduced to braces this week. Just 4, on the upper teeth, but they are supposed to straighten her teeth so they can pull her canines and let her adult teeth fill in naturally. The process of getting braces was "painless" according to my daughter. Doesn't she look pretty?
We have a follow-up visit in late April. Stay tuned for future updates on our journey to braces!
