When your child is experiencing misalignment, crowding, bite issues, or irregularly spaced teeth, specialized orthodontic care can not only correct these problems, but it can also improve their oral and overall health.

What Is Early Orthodontic Care & Why Is It Important?

Also known as “interceptive” treatment, early orthodontic care encompasses treatments that are performed when a child’s jawbones are developing and malleable, which enables our team to correct issues before they become more complex later in life.

In the first phase of orthodontic treatment, we’ll provide care that lays the foundation for a fully functioning mouth and well-aligned smile. When necessary, we’ll recommend a customized oral appliance to help direct your child’s oral development.

During the second phase of orthodontic treatment, we’ll focus on your child’s tooth alignment and positioning with tailored treatment recommendations for their upper and/or lower teeth.

Our Orthodontic Services Include:

Traditional Braces

A highly reliable orthodontic system that helps patients with a wide variety of alignment issues achieve a straight smile, metal band-and-bracket braces are a popular option for patients of all ages.

Clear Aligners

These discreet and removable aligners gradually move a patient’s teeth into their most ideal positions while providing them with an esthetically pleasing way to undergo orthodontic care.

Space Maintainers

An appliance that’s used to hold the spot left by a baby tooth lost to decay or injury, a space maintainer keeps the area available until the permanent tooth erupts.

Correct Of Tongue/Lip Ties

Also known as a frenectomy, this procedure removes the overly long or short soft tissue under the tongue, allowing it to move freely and thereby preventing the development of oral issues.

Infant/Newborn Tongue/Lip Ties

When an infant or newborn has a thicker or shorter than normal lingual frenulum (the soft tissue below their tongue), this procedure helps release the tissue, correcting issues that can impact their ability to breastfeed comfortably.
