Why Schmitt Orthodontics

Treatment At The Right Time

Our goal is to monitor our patient’s growth and development and treat at the correct time according to scientifically backed research.

When we have the chance to see your child around age 7 we can treat at the correct time. We would rather see a patient 5 years too early than 1 day too late! Teeth that are not erupting properly can lead to many problems that are easily corrected when diagnosed early.

The overwhelming majority of the time, growth and development will be normal and no early treatment will be required — only monitoring throughout the eruption process.

When early treatment is required the goal is always to get your child back to a normal course of growth, development, and tooth eruption. Early monitoring not only prevents additional procedures later but also increases the chance that tooth extractions will not be required.

Cutting-Edge Techniques

We use the most scientifically advanced wires, brackets, and materials. Our NITi wires allow for 6-8 week intervals. This saves time away from work and school. Our digital X-Rays mean substantially reduced radiation to the patient.

Dr. Schmitt is a life-long student and stays current on the latest materials and techniques. Everything we do is backed by the scientific literature.
