Early intervention orthodontics

We like to see children for their first appointment around seven to ten years old. At this time, we can see how your child’s teeth and jaws are developing and catch potential issues before they worsen. Early intervention makes issues much easier and faster to treat.

While crooked teeth or misalignments may not seem like a big deal, they can make it more difficult for a child to chew, talk, and even breathe correctly as they age. Treating orthodontic problems early reduces time they will need to spend in braces in their teenage years.

Invisalign® First for small smiles

Invisalign® First is a treatment designed specifically for children ages six to ten. The system uses a series of clear, plastic aligners that help to guide the developing teeth into their ideal positions while increasing space in the mouth for your child’s incoming teeth.

Invisalign® clear aligners are smooth and comfortable, so they are a great introduction to orthodontic treatment. They are also removable, so your child won’t need to disrupt their regular eating and hygiene routines during their treatment.

Teen Orthodontics

The teenage years are the most common time to straighten your smile. We have many great treatment options for teens that range from traditional metal braces to discreet Invisalign® clear aligners.

Metal and clear braces

We offer both metal and clear braces for our young clients. Both types of braces use brackets and archwires to gently guide your child’s smile into alignment. Metal brackets can be customized with fun colored elastics, and clear brackets blend in with your child’s smile.

Invisalign® clear aligners

If your teen is conscious of their image, they will be excited to know that we offer Invisalign® for teens! Invisalign® clear aligners are virtually invisible, comfortable, and even removable, so they won’t get in the way of meals, sports, or other after school activities.
