There are some procedures that we can do here in the office that may lessen the amount of time your child will have to be in braces and improve the outcome. Dr. Hudkins and Dr. Rockne coordinate a plan with your orthodontist and work as a team throughout orthodontic treatment. Don’t forget to maintain your hygiene appointments at Branson Kids Dental every 6 months throughout orthodontic care! This is an easy time to get cavities and home care requires extra work.
