When Should My Child See an Orthodontist?
Along with the American Association of Orthodontists, we recommend your child have an orthodontic examination at 7 years of age.
Orthodontics
Children + Teens + Adults
Your First Visit
At the initial exam, we will take facial and intraoral photos and x-rays if needed. Your orthodontist will perform an exam and discuss your treatment plan.
Braces
Types of Braces
At Smiles From Us, we offer traditional metal braces, Iconix® Aesthetic Braces, Wild Smiles, and ceramic braces.
Braces for Kids
As a practice that specializes in orthodontics and pediatric dentistry, our doctors can create the perfect treatment plan for your family.
Braces for Teens
All told, there are a wide range of different benefits that come along with the decisions to get braces for your teen – with maybe the biggest being that they’ll finally enjoy that perfect smile they’ve always wanted for themselves.
Braces for Adults
Many adults choose braces. Not only do we serve patients who would like to re-straighten their teeth (as is common), but we also have solutions for people who have never had braces before as well.
Invisalign®
Invisalign for Kids
The technology at the heart of Invisalign really doesn’t change when you’re talking about a child going through treatment versus an adult. The system itself may be more effective in kids, however, because their teeth and jaw are still in the process of development.
Invisalign for Teens
Teenagers in particular should consider Invisalign because of the wide variety of aesthetic benefits that they bring to the table. For starters, Invisalign aligners are designed to be as discreet as possible – to the point where most people probably won’t even realize that your teen is wearing them unless they come right out and say so.
Invisalign for Adults
There truly is no “bad time” in your life to get Invisalign, as the types of problems that it’s designed to correct can manifest themselves at any age.
