Summer Time is the Perfect Time to Visit our Office

Summer is rapidly approaching and calendars are filling up fast with summer camps, summer school, summer vacations, etc.  Now would be the perfect time to contact our office and set up a complimentary New Patient Exam or if you have been seen by our doctors then now is the perfect time to start your treatment.

Did you know?  The American Association of Orthodontists recommendation for Orthodontic check-ups should be no later that age 7.  There are several reasons for this examination:
  • Incisors (the front teeth) have begun to erupt and problems can be detected such as crowding, habits, deep bites, open bites and some jaw discrepancies.
  • For some, a timely evaluation will lead to significant treatment benefits; for others, the principal immediate benefit is a parent's peace of mind.
  • After the initial evaluation your child will be put into the recall system and the doctors will see your child every 6 months to monitor growth and development.  They will let you know when is the right time to begin Orthodontic treatment.  These visits are complimentary until treatment is recommended.  
Malocclusions like those illustrated below, may benefit from early diagnosis and have a full examination by our doctors.  You can call our Longwood Office at 407-862-1870 or our Lake Mary Office 407-805-0068 to schedule your appointment.
