Just like you, Dr. Maria Yazji wants to protect your child. Every child under twelve years old can receive a free mouth guard to protect them from future injury.

Early Orthodontics

If your child has already experienced an injury or if you have worries about their jaw/tooth development, Yazji Orthodontics also offers early orthodontic treatment for children. There are two phases when addressing early orthodontic intervention. Phase one targets healthy development. This phase of the treatment process focuses on the bone structure as your child continues to develop. The phase begins before your child’s adult teeth have emerged. The goal of phase one is to allow the beautiful, natural emergence of your child’s adult teeth. The second phase of the treatment addresses all the issues following the emergence of your child’s adult teeth. Phase two commonly involves braces depending on each child’s specific needs.
