Your Child's First Visit to the Orthodontist
Children should have their first orthodontic screening by age seven. This early evaluation helps detect jaw irregularities and developmental issues that may require future orthodontic care.
During the visit, our dentists will conduct an oral exam and use diagnostic imaging to assess your child’s dental health, determining if orthodontic treatment is necessary. We focus on preventative care to address concerns early, which can help avoid more extensive and costly treatments down the road.
Braces & Orthodontics for Healthy, Growing Smiles
Traditional Braces
Traditional metal braces are a reliable option for straightening teeth and correcting bite issues in children. With durable brackets and wires, they gradually move teeth into proper alignment, leading to a healthy, well-aligned smile that lasts a lifetime.
Clear Braces
Clear braces work similarly to traditional braces but use tooth-colored or clear brackets for a more discreet appearance. They’re a great option for kids who need the strength of metal braces but prefer a more subtle look.
Invisalign®
Invisalign® offers a comfortable, removable, and nearly invisible alternative for straightening teeth. These clear aligners make it easy for kids to eat, brush, and play sports without the hassle of brackets and wires.
SPEED System™ Braces
SPEED System™ braces are designed for quicker, more comfortable treatment. Featuring self-ligating technology, they move teeth efficiently, reducing pressure and potentially shortening the time your child needs to wear braces.

Clear, Comfortable, and Transformative Treatment
Traditional Braces
Traditional metal braces are a trusted solution for straightening teeth and fixing bite issues in children. With strong brackets and wires, they gradually shift teeth into the correct position, resulting in a healthy, well-aligned smile that lasts a lifetime.
The Aligners
Your teenager will receive Invisalign clear aligners made from the exclusive SmartTrack material. Throughout treatment, you can track your child’s adherence using an indicator on the aligners. They should be worn for 22 hours a day but can be easily removed, allowing minimal disruption to their daily activities.
The Transformation
As your teenager progresses through treatment, their smile and confidence will transform with each carefully planned adjustment. Plus, with the Invisalign Teen Guarantee, you have the option to switch to traditional braces if your teenager decides to discontinue Invisalign within the first six months.
