Smile Magic at Lemchen Salzer Orthodontics: The Early Treatment Advantage
At Lemchen Salzer Orthodontics, we are not just another orthodontic practice- we are passionate advocates of early treatment and the remarkable benefits it can offer to our patients. With a strong commitment to early intervention, this has led to countless success stories. Today, we would love to share one particular case that highlights why we firmly believe in this approach.
The Case of the Hidden Canine: A Potential Smile Saboteur
Imagine this: A young patient comes into the office with a challenging orthodontic issue- a canine tooth is lurking in the wrong place, threatening the damage of a good tooth while making its way into the world. If left untreated, it could possibly lead to a host of complications, which are not limited to the potential for a tooth to become impacted, making it hard to move, and/or the potential for damage to the adjacent teeth upon eruption, leading to the loss of a healthy adult tooth.
The Lemchen Salzer Difference: Early Intervention
We believe in creating lasting transformations and not just fixing smiles. In this case, our early treatment approach proved the key to success.
The use of early intervention allows us to provide a path for the stubborn canine to find its way into the smile. This helps to avoid any of the consequences mentioned above or any need for invasive surgical intervention down the road.
So…What are some of the other benefits of early treatment/intervention?
Early treatment enables us to evaluate and monitor orthodontic concerns before they create any future concerns. It also prevents the need for more invasive procedures later, like having the tooth removed surgically. As we get older, our growth patterns become more set and harder to move one way or another. Although it is not that it’s super easy when younger, with the use of early intervention, there is an opportunity to equalize or improve the patient's growth pattern and development of the jaw structures.
We point out the major objectives of early intervention, which are smile preservation, comfort and convenience, and improved oral health.
Why we stand out:
We genuinely care about the well-being and confidence of our patients. We prioritize early intervention as we understand it is the key to preventing unnecessary discomfort and complications.
We believe in early treatment, and we believe in you. If you or your child has orthodontic concerns, do not wait. Reach out to us today and discover how our early intervention approach can transform your smile into a masterpiece of beauty and health. Your journey to a radiant smile starts here.
