Early Intervention For Optimal Care
At Greater Chattanooga Orthodontics, we believe in early intervention for optimal orthodontic care. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children have an orthodontic screening by age 7, and our expert orthodontist, Dr. Cheryl Aldridge, can determine the need for treatment and the best time to start. Our community dentists are trained to identify orthodontic problems early and may refer you to our office even before age 7. Don’t wait – contact us today to schedule your free smile exam!
