Bite correction. Jaw alignment. Preventive treatment. Smile improvement. Accelerated Orthodontics. Dr. Cercek loves a challenge!  You and your child will love the results!.

Whether or not an orthodontic problem is detected, a child should visit an orthodontist for a check up no later than age seven. Most likely, treatment will not necessarily begin at this age, however, an examination is important to ensure  maximum dental health for your child.

If your child has a problem that requires attention, Dr. Cercek may recommend interceptive treatment. Early intervention, which takes advantage of facial growth and tooth eruption, that can decrease the severity of a problem later  on. And, it frequently makes the completion of  treatment at a later age less time consuming and less expensive.

  • Interceptive treatment may be beneficial in:
  • Avoiding fracture or loss of protruding teeth.
  • Assuring that the jaws and teeth meet properly during chewing and  swallowing.
  • Eliminating adverse habits such as thumb/finger sucking, tongue thrusting  and lip habits.
  • Correcting early alignment of teeth.
  • Enhancing proper speech development.
  • Correcting crossbite, tooth grinding, tooth interference and lower jaw  displacement.
  • If necessary, coordinating the extraction of primary (baby) teeth with the  family dentist and allowing for proper eruption of the permanent teeth.
  • Improving self-image
