For All Ages

Children

While there is no exact age for children to begin orthodontic treatment, the American Association of Orthodontists recommends visiting the orthodontist around age seven. By this age, most children have a mix of baby teeth and adult teeth, making it easier for the orthodontist to diagnose and correct tooth and jaw problems sooner and without surgery.

Early treatment can correct and guide the growth of your child's jaw to help the permanent teeth come in straight, regulate the width of the upper and lower dental arches, create more space for crowded teeth, and avoid the need for permanent tooth extractions later in life.

Please contact our practice to schedule an appointment for an orthodontic evaluation. Early treatment now will give your child a healthy, beautiful smile for the future.

Teens

Orthodontic braces are a big part of life for many teenagers. While braces may have had a bad reputation in the past, today's braces make it easy to look good and feel good! With options like LightForce 3D-printed braces (tooth-colored ceramic) and Angel Aligners (nearly invisible), teens have more discreet choices than ever before.

Adults

Orthodontic treatment is no longer just for teens. In fact, the American Association of Orthodontists states that one in five orthodontic patients is over the age of 21. Many adults are choosing to receive treatment because they understand the importance of maintaining their health and want to feel better about their appearance.

Common reasons adults seek orthodontic treatment include a bad bite or malocclusion causing teeth to fit together incorrectly, teeth that are crowded or spaced apart (which can cause tooth decay or gum disease), abnormal jaw pain or pressure caused by crooked teeth, and incomplete orthodontic treatment as a teen.

Our practice recognizes that adults and children have different needs, and we provide a different level of attention and care. We will work with you to ensure that you receive the most appropriate treatments and that your needs are met with understanding and respect.

Straight teeth are healthy teeth — and a beautiful, straight smile builds confidence.

No matter your age, it's never too late to invest in your smile.
