What Are My Child’s Orthodontic Options?
We customize treatment based on your child’s age, smile goals, and dental development. Here’s what we offer:
- Traditional Metal Braces - Smaller, smoother, and more efficient than ever — great for correcting overbites, underbites, crowding, and misalignment
- Clear Braces (Ceramic) - Tooth-colored or clear brackets provide a low-profile look, popular with older teens seeking a discreet option.
- Invisalign®, Invisalign Teen® & Clear Aligners - Removable, nearly invisible trays that straighten teeth with comfort and convenience — a favorite for responsible teens who want great results without brackets or wires.
- Damon Braces - Self-ligating braces that apply lighter force and may reduce treatment time and office visits.
- Expanders & Growth Appliances - Used to widen the jaw or guide jaw development — especially helpful in younger kids as part of two-phase treatment.
- Retainers - We use custom retainers post-treatment to protect your child’s results — or for small corrective adjustments in mild cases.
When Should My Child Start Treatment?
We recommend every child visit an orthodontist by age 7 — even if no issues are visible yet. While most kids begin treatment between ages 11 and 15, some early problems are best corrected sooner to avoid more complicated treatment later.
If no treatment is needed yet, we’ll include your child in our free observation program and monitor development over time.
What Can Braces or Aligners Fix?
Our treatments are designed to correct:
- Crooked or crowded teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Overbite, underbite, or crossbite
- Jaw alignment problems
- Impacted or unerupted teeth
- Speech-related dental issues
- Early or late loss of baby teeth
We use modern technology — including no-mess digital impressions — for precise, customized treatment planning.
