Orthodontics for Children
Early Care for Growing Smiles
A child’s smile changes quickly, and early orthodontic care can help guide teeth and jaw development in the right direction.
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an evaluation by age seven to catch potential issues early. Dr. Alys and Dr. Ryan monitor dental growth and intervene when needed to create a strong foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles.
The Benefits of Early Orthodontic Treatment
Guides Jaw Growth
Early treatment helps shape the developing jaw, making future orthodontic care easier and reducing the risk of severe misalignment.
Creates Space for Incoming Teeth
Expanding the jaw early allows permanent teeth to come in properly, reducing the chances of crowding or impaction.
Prevents Complex Alignment Issues
Addressing minor issues early can prevent them from turning into more serious problems that require extensive treatment later.
Reduces the Need for Extractions or Surgery
By guiding growth in the right direction, early orthodontics can minimize the likelihood of needing tooth extractions or jaw surgery in the future.
Digital Scans & X-Rays
Advanced imaging provides a detailed look at how your child’s teeth and jaw are growing, allowing for the most accurate treatment planning.
A Personalized Growth Plan
If early treatment is necessary, we’ll discuss the best approach for guiding your child’s smile as they grow. If no immediate care is needed, we’ll continue monitoring their development over time.
