Dr. Amelia Chim is committed to provide the most comprehensive treatment of the overall long term health benefit for children in her practice. Benefits of preventative orthodontic include:

Treatment is best started at an earlier age (between 3-5 years old) when patients can be more adaptable and natural growth is present.
-
Permanent results with minimized rates of relapse.
-
Using a removable dental appliance that is medical grade to be safe, latex-free, BPA-free, natural, and exceedingly more hygienic than other appliances.
-
The more time we have for treatment during natural growth and development, the easier it is to achieve desire results.

How do I know if My Child Qualifies?
If your child is between the age of 3-5 years old, Dr. Amelia will evaluate his/her skeletal and dental growth to determine whether or not your child qualifies for this appliance. Timing is an important factor as the appliance is designed to guide the natural growth of a child into proper position.
Children experience periods of growth spurts leading up to puberty. Each of those spurts can be used to harness the natural forces of the body to guide ideal jaw and tooth positioning.
