Growth Observation and Management

Many of our patients have their first orthodontic visit years before we begin treatment. For most kids, these checks are quick and once all the permanent teeth have erupted we discuss orthodontic treatment. By monitoring growth and tooth exfoliation during the mixed dentition stage we are able to correct or minimize problems early and begin comprehensive orthodontic treatment at the most optimal time. For the kids that benefit from early intervention, this may mean doing interceptive orthodontic treatment, or having a few primary teeth removed early.

When should my child see an orthodontist?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an orthodontic evaluation at the age of 7. At age 7 kids still have plenty of baby teeth and fortunately, not many require orthodontic treatment this early. However, there are certain orthodontic problems a comprehensive exam that includes panoramic and cephalometric radiographs will detect. Some of these issues you, and possibly even your dentist, wouldn’t notice."

Dr. Joseph Pittman
Dr. Joseph Pittman, or as we say, Dr. P, was born in the great state of North Carolina. He grew up in the country with cornfields, swimming ponds, and BBQ (vinegar style of course) just outside of Greenville in a family of seven. As a teenager, Dr. Pittman moved to Ohio. He did well in math, physics, and art, and followed his father’s footsteps into mechanical engineering. He attended The Ohio State University, graduating with honors in mechanical engineering. During college, he interned with Crest Toothpaste and became interested in brand management, but ultimately decided to attend dental school. Dr. Pittman received a full-ride scholarship for academic excellence and community involvement. He was president of his class for four years, received multiple research awards, and, most excitingly, went to four more seasons of Buckeye football!
