We emphasize early intervention to treat problematic conditions in early childhood, around ages 5/6, while the jaws are still developing.
This approach enables us to work with the body’s natural growth process, guiding the jaws into a healthy alignment, and preventing conditions from progressing to a severe state.
Once the jaws are fully developed, conditions may require a more invasive treatment method (like jaw surgery) or tooth extraction, and require longer treatment periods.
Through early prevention and a holistic approach, we can treat conditions efficiently, before they fully develop, which reduces treatment time, minimizes discomfort for your little one, and prevents challenges associated with airway function or bite function.
We consider every aspect of your child’s smile in order to create a holistic, personalized treatment plan that leads to an exceptional smile.
As the only Dual-Trained Specialist in the area, Dr. Matsumoto focuses on all aspects the smile.
