Leamington ON Essex ON Orthodontist offers free orthodontic exams for all children

Leamington, ON – Dr. Maxwell Abraham and the team at Abraham Orthodontics offers free orthodontic exams for all children. The first screening exam is recommended by age 7 from the Canadian Association of Orthodontists to prevent complex and surgical treatments.

If your child is approaching the age of seven, it’s time to make an appointment for an initial exam with your orthodontist. The Canadian Association of Orthodontists has recommended that the proper age for a child’s first visit to the orthodontist is no later than seven years of age. “Most often, the orthodontist will identify a potential problem but recommend monitoring the child’s growth and development. He or she can spot subtle problems with jaw growth and emerging teeth while baby teeth are present and recommend starting treatment at the best possible time to minimize treatment duration cost and complexity,” says Dr. Maxwell Abraham of Abraham Orthodontics in Leamington. His practice offers free exams for all children, with no referral required. Children that are not ready for treatment, enter his Growing Smiles Programs where the children are seen yearly, at no cost (regardless of insurance) to monitor growth and dental development.

“Because every patient presents with unique orthodontic problems and growth considerations, the “best age” to start treatment is different for every patient. Therefore, the best time for a consultation with your orthodontist is as soon as a possible problem is noticed.”

Abraham Orthodontics has used community initiatives in the past to raise awareness. Most recently, take-home Math Game Kits at Harrow Public School was sponsored by Dr. Abraham to encourage STEM development through family game nights, while sending the important message of the initial screening orthodontic exam at 7 years old. “It’s a wonderful program  the leaders at HPS came up with and we have the intention of making it comprehensive to follow the kids through their time at HPS. If it encourages prevents one child from requiring surgical orthodontic treatment later, its worth it one-hundred and fifty percent!” Dr. Abraham says.

Families can schedule their free orthodontic exam with Abraham Orthodontics at 519-398-89101 or at www.AbrahamOrthodontics.com.
