Early Orthodontics for Children

Early detection of orthodontic issues allows Dr. Diane to monitor children's oral development and begin treatment at the optimal time. Schedule your complimentary consultation in either our Amherst or Bedford offices.

Orthodontic Consultations & Observations for Children

An early assessment can give you peace of mind. All these visits are complimentary and give you the assurance that you won't miss the optimal timing to treat.

Dr. Diane recommends the first orthodontic evaluation around age 7. An early visit allows Dr. Diane to identify developing issues and determine if treatment is beneficial now, or can wait to be treated in the future.

If Dr. Diane recommends early treatment, you can expect clear communication on the benefits of her recommendation, receive a detailed written report, and understand when to return for your next complimentary follow up.

Observation cycles are timed carefully not to miss needed treatment, but also to coordinate with your benefit cycle. Dr. Diane will continue to monitor your child until they are ready for comprehensive orthodontic care.

At All Star Smiles Orthodontics, you can count on her experience as an orthodontist and mother to help you make the best decision for your child.
