Here’s why orthodontic treatment for children, teens, and adults is an essential part of your family’s dental health and how our approach is tailored to patients of all ages.
Orthodontic Treatment for Children: Early Evaluation
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that all children receive an orthodontic evaluation by age 7. This early assessment allows us to identify and address any potential growth-related issues or emerging bite problems before they become more complex.
Phase 1 (Early Interceptive) Treatment: Also known as early interceptive treatment, Phase 1 typically begins between the ages of 7 and 10. This proactive approach aims to guide the development of the jaw and correct bite problems early, such as underbites, overbites, and crossbites. Phase 1 can also address habits that may be detrimental to dental development, like thumb sucking and tongue thrusting, and help to ensure there is enough space for permanent teeth to erupt correctly.
Orthodontics for Teens: The Adjustment Phase
As children grow into their teenage years, most of their permanent teeth have erupted, making it an ideal time to address alignment issues and finalize the positioning of the teeth and jaws.
Phase 2 Treatment: This phase typically involves full braces or clear aligners and focuses on perfecting the alignment of the teeth and bite. It’s during this stage that the aesthetic aspects of the smile are fine-tuned, ensuring not only a functional bite but also a beautiful, confident smile.
Customized Solutions: Recognizing the unique social and lifestyle needs of teenagers, we offer a variety of orthodontic solutions, including traditional metal braces, ceramic braces, and clear aligners. Our goal is to provide effective treatment that fits seamlessly into the lives of our teen patients.
Orthodontics for Adults: The Refinement Phase
It’s never too late to achieve the smile you’ve always wanted. Adult orthodontics is growing in popularity, thanks to advancements in orthodontic technology that offer effective and aesthetically pleasing treatment options.
Tailored Treatment: We understand that adults may have concerns about the visibility of orthodontic appliances and the time commitment required for treatment. That’s why we offer a range of options, including clear aligners and ceramic braces, designed to blend with your lifestyle while efficiently achieving your desired results.
Comprehensive Care: Adult orthodontic treatment often involves a multidisciplinary approach to address complex issues such as gum health, wear and tear on the teeth, and pre-existing dental work. Our team works closely with other dental professionals to ensure a comprehensive approach to your oral health.
