When should you and your child visit Weiss Orthodontics?

Dr. Weiss knows many parents assume they must wait until a child has all of his or her permanent teeth to visit our office, only to find that treatment would have been much easier if started sooner. Consequently, the American Association of Orthodontists, or AAO, recommends that every child have an orthodontic check-up no later than age seven.

Ok, so what’s so great about age seven, you ask? Enough permanent teeth have arrived for an orthodontist to make a determination about whether any problems are present. The first molars have come in, providing an opportunity to check for malocclusion, or “bad bite.” Also, the incisors have begun to come in, and problems such as crowding, deep bites and open bites can be detected.

Orthodontic evaluation at an early age provides one of two positive outcomes: For some, early identification or problems will lead to easier or shorter orthodontic treatment in the future. For others, a healthy prognosis will provide immediate peace of mind.

Early evaluation, of course, may signal a need for early treatment. For some children, early treatment can prevent physical and emotional trauma. Aside from spurring on years of harmful teasing, misaligned teeth are also prone to injury and detrimental to good oral hygiene. So if your child is nearing age 7, give us a call at Weiss Orthodontics to schedule an appointment.

Happy New Year from Weiss Orthodontics!

The year is almost over, and Dr. Weiss and staff would like to ask all our patients: what was memorable about 2009 for you, and what are you looking forward to in 2010? Do you have a New Year’s resolution, or any exciting plans for the coming year?

Have a safe and happy New Year’s Eve, from Dr. Weiss and the rest of the team at Weiss Orthodontics!

Learn more about orthodontics on AAO's YouTube page - Dr. Danny Weiss

Dr. Weiss and his team would like to point you to a few interesting webisodes about orthodontics. The American Association of Orthodontics, or AAO, has a YouTube page we enjoy visiting regularly. There, they post some very pertinent videos about orthodontic treatment, and the new technology in orthodontia. These include "Orthodontic Treatment Basics," "Common Bite Problems Seen in Children" and "Does My Child Need Braces?"

We think you may find these webisodes interesting, as well as enlightening.

If you have any questions about the videos, or your treatment here at Weiss Orthodontics, please give us a call.

Happy holidays!

"Dr. Weiss and his staff are very friendly!! I can't wait to see the finished product of my new smile. As soon as I walked out of the office, I believe Dr. Weiss sent my mom a gift for referring me. Awesome! I look forward to working with him and his staff!!!!" -- Erica G.

"Thus far, my Orthodontist and his staff have been incredibly courteous and knowledgeable. I'm looking forward to my treatment and experience over the next 20 months!" -- Tiffany M.

"Shows he is putting forth effort to keep up with technology. While some doctors may have the lazy and slacker dentist attitude: "We will do it the old way until we are forced to change" Dr W obviously does not settle for what will do the job, he continues to challenge himself to find ways to do it better and with concern for the patient's comfort and convenience." -- Jennifer H.
