If your child requires orthodontic treatment, Bedont Orthodontics will help with each step necessary for your child’s pediatric treatment. Pediatric treatment is exclusive to children and is best done when your child’s first molars have grown in, which is around the age of 7 years old. The first appointment decides whether or not to pursue treatment through a thorough examination (x-rays, photographs, etc), and where to start if your child needs treatment. Impressions of your child’s teeth will be taken as part of the examination, if Dr. Bedont determines treatment is needed. The impressions are used to determine an individualized treatment plan for your child. During the time of your appointment, our staff will review your insurance benefits and give you an estimate of how much your treatment will cost.
