Correct and guide the growth of your child's jaw to help the permanent teeth come in straight. Early treatment allows orthodontists to monitor the growth of the jaw and recommend further orthodontic treatment if it becomes necessary. The amount of treatment needed in order to correct a problem will determine how long the process takes.
Different patients react to treatments differently, so while it may take one patient only 12 months to complete their treatment, it may take another patient 24 months. Your willingness to use the appliances your orthodontist gives you plays a major role in the length of time it takes to complete your treatment.

We love those adorable little "baby" teeth, just like you, but that doesn't mean your child's too young for the orthodontist. The American Association of Orthodontists and Dr. Kelson recommend scheduling their first visit at age 7. It might sound young, but this is the perfect time to evaluate their teeth growing in to create a solid foundation to develop their awesome future smile.
Making teeth straight is what we do, in fact, we LOVE it! Kelson Orthodontics offers a variety of orthodontic methods, and materials in vibrant colors to create your teen's gorgeous smile. The awkward teen years with head gear is a thing of the past, straightening teeth is more comfortable, more stylish and with Dr. Kelson, more fun.
For many adults, the thought of having metal braces is enough to discourage them from receiving treatment. Today's orthodontic treatment options, however, offer a variety of braces and appliances that are comfortable, aesthetic, and customized to meet your needs. So you got a little too relaxed about not wearing your retainer years ago or maybe braces were out of your budget as a teen and it's finally time to treat yourself.
The goal of orthodontic treatment at Kelson Orthodontics is to build a beautiful smile, to establish healthy functional biting patterns, and to idealize the way the jaws and teeth fit within the face. We create beautiful faces as well as beautiful smiles. Dr. Kelson and the American Association of Orthodontics recommends that children be seen by an Orthodontist by age 7 for best results.
