Pre-Orthodontic Guidance Program: Prevention is the key
Dr. Petrol believes in preventative or interceptive orthodontic treatment. At 7 years of age, Dr. Petrol can tell you if your child is expressing any unusual growth patterns. Recognizing these problems at this age can make treatment easier and simpler, preventing the need for extractions or surgery and alleviating harmful habits in the future. Dr Petrol monitors all children in her practice who are 7 years of age or older. This provides her families with PEACE OF MIND knowing that she is carefully watching their growth and development.
