Center for Early Orthodontic Treatment

The Center for Early Orthodontic Treatment, located at 9595 Angola Ct, Indianapolis, IN 46268, is a specialized orthodontic clinic dedicated to providing comprehensive early orthodontic care for children. The practice is led by Dr. Yuliya Pinskaya, who emphasizes an integrative approach that goes beyond just straightening teeth, focusing on the total wellness of the child. The clinic's primary mission is to intercept developing orthodontic problems at a young age, typically between ages 7 and 10, when a child still has a mix of baby and permanent teeth. This early intervention, also known as Phase One or interceptive orthodontics, aims to guide proper jaw growth and development, create adequate space for erupting permanent teeth, and correct harmful oral habits like thumb-sucking or tongue thrusting. By addressing these issues early, the Center for Early Orthodontic Treatment seeks to prevent more severe complications from arising later, potentially reducing the need for extensive orthodontic procedures, tooth extractions, or even jaw surgery in adolescence. Key benefits of their approach include: Guiding Jaw Growth: Influencing jaw development during crucial growth periods to achieve proper alignment and symmetry. Creating Space: Ensuring enough room for permanent teeth to erupt correctly, minimizing crowding and impaction. Correcting Oral Habits: Addressing habits that can negatively impact dental and facial development. Improving Oral Function: Enhancing chewing efficiency, speech development, and proper breathing patterns. Simplifying Future Treatment: Often leading to shorter and less complex orthodontic treatment in the teenage years. Boosting Self-Confidence: Addressing visible alignment issues early to improve a child's self-esteem. Promoting Overall Health: Recognizing that crooked teeth and poor facial development can be linked to compromised health, including sleep-disordered breathing, and working to improve these aspects. The Center for Early Orthodontic Treatment operates Monday through Thursday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. They can be reached by phone at (317) 672-3530 or through their website, http://www.earlyorthodontics.com/. Their philosophy centers on the belief that preventing problems is the safest approach, ensuring children achieve not only straight teeth but also improved overall health for a lifetime.
