Early Orthodontic Treatment

Your child’s smile begins developing long before their first tooth appears. Signs of oral development issues can emerge as early as the first year, potentially affecting a child’s breathing, speaking, and overall growth. At BK Dental, we believe in identifying and addressing these concerns early, when intervention can have the most significant positive impact on your child’s development.

Dr. Boris Kaltchev’s expertise in early orthodontic intervention helps set the foundation for your child’s lifelong oral health. By addressing developmental concerns in these crucial formative years, we can help guide proper facial growth, improve breathing patterns, and create the space needed for healthy oral development, often preventing more complex issues down the road.

Overview

Children as young as one year old can show signs of improper facial and oral development. Early intervention can alter the adverse growth.

Our Approach

We evaluate our young patients for the following problems: tongue and lip tie, open mouth breathing, incompetent lip seal, poor tongue posture, and deep bite. The treatment approach incorporates orthodontic appliances and orofacial myology exercises.

Testimonials

My family is extremely satisfied with BK Dental. My husband’s braces and our little one’s jaw expansion treatment were both performed and supervised by Dr. Kalchev. He is very knowledgeable, patient, and nice to patients. All the staff is amazing, and the atmosphere is great.

Took my very nervous six-year-old in to have his new teeth cleaned and x-rayed. We saw Sandy, who was just amazing! She did such a great job, and he was so relaxed that he was even falling asleep. She got him so excited about keeping his teeth clean that he couldn’t wait to go home and use his brand-new toothbrush! Amazing job, Sandy!! My son can’t wait to see her for his next cleaning! Her patience and understanding are very much appreciated. I hope we get her every time.

As a dentist and parent who deeply cares about children’s health, I understand how overwhelming it can be to hear that your child has oral development issues. Many parents ask me, “Isn’t my child too young for orthodontic treatment?” Let me assure you that early intervention can make a remarkable difference in your child’s facial and oral development.
