Early intervention
Orthodontics for kids.
A first orthodontic check around age 7 lets us monitor growth and step in only when timing makes treatment simpler and shorter.
Phase I
Early treatment for children
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first orthodontic exam by age 7. At that visit we look at facial development, crowding, crossbites, open bites, airway, tongue position, and swallowing habits. Catching those early lets us guide jaw width and growth patterns instead of working against them — and every Phase I plan is built for the individual child.
Growth-guided care
Expanders and interceptive treatment that use a child's growth rather than working against it.
Watching, not rushing
Many children simply need monitoring at first. If treatment can wait — or be made shorter by waiting — we'll tell you that instead of starting early.
Your child's first visit is free.
A full exam, imaging, and a plain-language plan — with no obligation to begin.
