5-Star Rated Orthodontist For Early Orthodontic Treatment For Children In Lubbock, TX, Clovis, NM & Hobbs, NM

All three of our orthodontists at St. Clair & Massey Orthodontics and The American Association of Orthodontists recognize the countless benefits of children visiting an orthodontist in the earlier stages of their life. This is why it is recommended that your child be seen by an orthodontist as early as age 7. Early treatment allows your orthodontist to monitor your child’s growth patterns and focus on the proper time to employ braces or orthodontics.

•   Difficult chewing and/or biting
•   Mouth breathing
•   Thumb-sucking
•   Speech impediments
•   Protruding teeth
•   Unevenly spaced teeth

The Benefits Of Early Orthodontic Treatment

Receiving early treatment as a child can prevent the need for braces and orthodontics as an adult, reducing the chances of needing surgery to correct common conditions.
