Introducing your child to orthodontic care early is an essential step toward a healthy, aligned smile. Dr. Jason Champagne and Dr. Cariann Champagne offer compassionate, thorough orthodontic screenings to help ensure your child’s dental development is on track. Our pediatric dentists and team are committed to creating a welcoming environment for families so you and your child feel comfortable every step of the way.
The Importance of Early Orthodontic Screenings
Early orthodontic evaluations play a key role in identifying potential issues that may impact your child’s oral health in the future. While many children do not require treatment at a young age, these screenings allow our pediatric dentists to assess important factors like:
- Jaw alignment and growth patterns
- Development of permanent teeth
- Potential crowding or spacing issues
By detecting these concerns early, we can guide you through the next steps for your child’s unique needs.
Understanding Phase 1 Treatment
If your child’s first orthodontic screening reveals the need for early intervention, our pediatric dentists will provide you with a clear explanation of the findings and the recommended course of action. Phase 1 treatment focuses on addressing developmental issues that can benefit from early correction. However, if specialized care is required, we will connect you with a trusted orthodontic specialist to ensure your child receives the highest level of care.
Partnering for Your Child’s Smile
We believe that every child deserves the best start on their orthodontic journey. Our pediatric dentists and team strive to support parents with the knowledge and resources needed to make informed decisions.
