Orthodontics is a highly effective solution for aligning teeth, not only to improve the appearance of your smile but also to enhance the overall function of your teeth, jaw, and bite.
According to the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO), children should have their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7, regardless of how many permanent teeth have erupted.
This early assessment allows orthodontists to identify potential structural issues in the developing teeth and jaw. By addressing these concerns early with braces or other orthodontic treatments, it's possible to guide proper growth, preserve your child’s smile, and help prevent more serious dental problems later on.
Types of Orthodontic Treatments
✨ Traditional Metal Braces
The most widely used orthodontic option, metal braces are highly effective in correcting a variety of dental alignment issues. They’re reliable, durable, and ideal for patients with more complex orthodontic needs.
✨ Invisalign®
A convenient alternative to metal braces, Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually straighten teeth. These aligners are nearly invisible, easy to remove for eating and cleaning, and offer a more flexible approach to orthodontic treatment—while delivering results comparable to traditional braces.
