The New Standard of Oral Health for Children & Adolescents

Proactive Treatment for Gentle Jaw and Facial Development

Dentofacial orthopedics focuses on guiding the development of the jaw and facial structures in children and adolescents to address imbalances early on. Using appliances (like expanders), we can correct bite and spacing issues and promote proper alignment,to lay the foundation for a healthy, happy smile.

Early Intervention Builds Happier, Healthier Smiles

Orthodontic Treatment for Children Under 10

The American Board of Orthodontics recommends a first check-up with an orthodontist by age 7. At this age, we can assess developing adult teeth and jaws to spot issues early for easy mitigation and prevention.

 

We may find no treatment needed, opt for periodic check-ins to monitor development, or recommend early intervention to correct or prevent issues like underbites, crossbites, overcrowding, or the effects of thumbsucking.

 

Beyond Straight Teeth: Breathe Easier with Healthier Airways for Your Child

Early intervention orthodontics guides proper jaw development and palate expansion, allowing space for the tongue and effectively enhancing nasal airflow to reduce the risk of conditions such as mouth-breathing and obstructive sleep apnea.

What to Expect with Early Intervention Treatment

Once we assess x-rays and 3D-rendered images of your child’s mouth, a treatment plan is customized to their specific needs to support healthy growth and alignment for their jaws and teeth.
