KIDS CLUB
When most people think of orthodontics, they think of teenagers. However, by age 7, most children have a mix of adult teeth and baby teeth. Dr. Wilmot can evaluate potential problems with jaw growth and emerging teeth while baby teeth are still present. This is very important because some orthodontic problems are easier to correct if they are detected early. Many of our younger patients will not require immediate treatment. Therefore, Dr. Wilmot will place the patient in our Kids Club (observation phase) to monitor how your child’s teeth and jaw grow and develop as well as project and plan for future orthodontic needs. Timing of your child’s orthodontic treatment is critical and regular visits to our office during this phase ensure the proper start to treatment.
At your child’s observation appointments his or her growth and development will be carefully monitored and there is NO FEE associated with the Kids Club observation phase. You will receive friendly email reminders letting you know it’s time to contact our office to schedule your child’s next appointment.
We look forward to seeing your child and thank you for choosing the office of Dr. Janice J. Wilmot for your family’s orthodontic care.
