When is the best time to begin treatment?

Dr. Thomas and the American Association of Orthodontists strongly recommend all children visit an Orthodontist by 7yrs of age. This is the time when permanent teeth begin to erupt and many potential serious problems are best addressed.

Panoramic x-rays are required to determine whether or not many of these potential problems exist. For this very reason, we have a digital panoramic x-ray machine in our office. We do not refer you out to an x-ray lab but rather take everything you need right here in our office. Digital x-rays are estimated to be at least 90% less radiation exposure than the traditional machines. This is less radiation than being out in the sun on a beautiful Sunny San Diego day!
