Early Interception
Avoid Orthodontist Referrals with Early Assessments
At Arete Dental Studio, we believe in the benefits of early interceptive orthodontics for children. By addressing orthodontic issues during a child’s developmental years, we can reduce the need for more complex treatments later in life. Our focus is on understanding the relationship between the soft and hard tissues, and how they impact breathing and overall development. We pride ourselves in early detection and management of growth and development problems – and aim to prevent the need for complex treatment with an orthodontist or maxillofacial surgeon later in life.
Evidence-Based Screening & Customized Care
Using evidence-based screening tools and 3D/2D imaging, we can identify underlying problems and formulate the best treatment options for your child. Our goal is to allow for the full expression of your child’s genetic potential by providing customized treatment plans that cater to their unique needs.
