How can treatment start early if my child still has primary teeth?

Early treatment is often recommended if there are structural issues with the teeth and jaws, causing overbite, underbite, crowding or impactions. Limited treatment can be completed between the ages of seven and 11 years. During this age range, jaw growth accelerates. We use this time to address the malocclusion in a more organic manner, as compared to treatment that is started when growth is complete.
