Dr. Dietrich, Dr. Kelso, and our entire Dietrich & Kelso Orthodontics team will treat your children like our own by giving them the best possible orthodontic care.

The American Association of Orthodontists and our expert doctors recommend that your child have their first orthodontic evaluation at the first sign of orthodontic problems, or no later than age seven.

Your child’s teeth have developed enough by this age to allow our expert doctors at Dietrich & Kelso Orthodontics to find subtle problems with emerging teeth and jaw growth before your child loses all of their baby teeth.

Your check-up at Dietrich & Kelso Orthodontics may reveal that your child’s bite is fine and early orthodontic treatment isn’t necessary.

Or, your orthodontist may identify a developing problem but recommend monitoring your child’s growth and development for the time being. After that, we can begin treatment at the appropriate time if your doctor still thinks it’s right for your child.

Early treatment at our offices in Central Florida may prevent or intercept more serious problems from developing and make treatment at a later age shorter and less complicated.

In some cases, Dietrich & Kelso Orthodontics can achieve results that may not be possible once your child’s face and jaws have finished growing.
