3 Great Reasons For an Early Consultation

Hughes Orthodontics in Alexandria, VA

Prevent A Problem

Would you want to know if your child had an underlying orthodontic problem? Did you know that two-thirds of what goes on in your child’s mouth happens below the surface? Preventing problems is easier and less costly than correcting them later.

Treat At The Right Time

The American Association of Orthodontists highly recommends that children have a consultation at age 7 because this is generally when the permanent teeth begin to erupt and the jaws are developing. Missing the opportunity to examine your child can lead to invasive treatments in the future. When possible we like to treat patients without extracting permanent teeth or referring for surgery.

Get Treated By An Expert

As a parent, you want the best for your children, so it only makes sense to seek out an orthodontic expert. Drs. Herb and Justin Hughes are leaders in their field and have made numerous presentations sharing their wisdom to doctors who want to deliver superior results to their patients. Our practice is consistently voted #1 Orthodontic practice by the Washingtonian and Virginia Living magazines.
