Orthodontics
There is no “late” time to start your orthodontic treatment but there is an optimal time. To get the best results at the lowest cost, orthodontic treatment should start as soon as problems become evident—by the age of seven at the latest—according to the American Association of Orthodontists. While treatment is not always a necessity at this age, Dr. John and Dr. Zach can assess the situation and recommend an appropriate time to visit the orthodontist for a consultation. We have built relationships with many orthodontic specialists, including Dr. Brett Finkelmeier, who works out of our Indianapolis office.
