r. Davis has provided successful orthodontic treatment for patients of all ages. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children first visit with an orthodontist at age 7, or even earlier, if a parent or dentist recognize a problem. Early diagnosis allows us to determine when a problem should be treated for optimum results with the least amount of time and expense. Sometimes "first-phase treatment" is recommended, allowing Dr. Davis to guide facial development, making completion of treatment at a later age easier and less time consuming. However, many of our patients today are adults. They are achieving remarkable results. While the course of treatment required may vary, the biological process involved with tooth movement is no different for adults than it is for children. We believe the benefits of a beautiful smile are worthwhile at any age. We have specifically designed our practice to be comfortable for children and adults alike.
