Orthodontics from an early age
Orthodontics is one of the practice's specialist services, described as treatment to improve the appearance and function of the smile. The practice says treatment is often recommended to begin as early as age 6, so families with younger children can ask about an early check. One parent describes their daughter's treatment, which included an expander, braces and the removal of some teeth, all completed without fear or complaint.
