Pediatric Orthodontic Care

Welcome to our Pediatric Orthodontic Care section, where we specialize in creating beautiful smiles for children and adolescents. Understanding the impact of orthodontic health on overall well-being, we're dedicated to providing advanced and compassionate care to meet the unique needs of our young patients. Explore our specialized orthodontic treatments designed to guide your child's dental development for a lifetime of smiles.

Our Pediatric Orthodontic Treatments:

Early Orthodontic Evaluation

Early evaluation provides a foundation for optimal orthodontic health. We recommend an initial orthodontic evaluation by age 7 to identify any potential issues early on and plan for the best course of treatment.

Customized Treatment Planning

Each child's orthodontic needs are unique. We create personalized treatment plans that cater to individual requirements, ensuring effective and efficient results.

Traditional Metal Braces

A time-tested method for straightening teeth, metal braces are durable and reliable. With fun color band options, they're a popular choice among our younger patients.

Clear Ceramic Braces

For those seeking a more discreet option, clear ceramic braces offer the effectiveness of traditional braces with a less noticeable appearance.

Invisalign® for Teens

Invisalign® offers a virtually invisible way to straighten teeth using a series of custom-made, clear aligners. It's an ideal option for teenagers concerned about the aesthetic impact of traditional braces.

Early Intervention Treatments

We provide early intervention treatments, such as palatal expanders, to address issues like overcrowding and crossbites, promoting proper jaw development.

Early Orthodontic/ Interceptive treatments include:

Determining the best prognosis for the development of teeth.
Correcting habits that maybe the cause of developmental problems, such as thumb sucking or tongue thrusting.
Correcting bite problems such as Open-bite, Overbite, Crossbite, Deep-bite, or Underbite.
Early evaluation of crowding, spacing, missing or ankylosed teeth.
Guiding the growing teeth in accordance with the respective growing jaws.
Decreasing potential damages to any mis-aligned or protruding teeth.
Improving your child's smile and self-esteem in social settings.
Preventing or reducing the likelihood of future complicated procedures.
Attaining long-term stability

Growth Modification Devices

These devices are used to correct jaw discrepancies by guiding the growth of the jaw in children and adolescents, improving facial symmetry and function.

Retainers

After active orthodontic treatment, retainers are essential for maintaining the new position of the teeth, ensuring lasting results.

Custom Mouthguards

For our active patients, we offer custom mouthguards to protect their smiles during sports and physical activities.

Why Choose Pediatric Orthodontic Care?

Orthodontic treatment during childhood can prevent the need for more invasive treatments later in life. By addressing issues early, we can guide your child's dental development, improving not just their smile, but their overall health and confidence.
