Interceptive Treatment
Don’t worry, mom & dad — most kids don’t need early treatment
*What’s very important, though, is making sure your growing mini-me is monitored by an orthodontist (typically every 6-12 months) during these pivotal years of growth to ensure your kiddo has a clear path to health and success*
At Titus Orthodontics, these visits are absolutely free — if treatment is
never needed, you don’t spend a dime with us
Dr. Titus normally recommends treatment only after all the permanent teeth have erupted, typically between the ages of 12-15 — the reality is that there are some situations that can arise from ages 7-12 that, if left undetected, can cause permanent damage and make treatment more difficult and costly in the future.
We recommend an assessment at age 7 to get a baseline — again, this is absolutely free, we just want to ensure nothing gets missed as your young one grows
