Setting Up The Smiles Of The Future

Orthodontic treatment can be life-changing for young patients, and it’s most effective when started at the right time. At Orthodontic Arts, we help parents and kids navigate early treatment with confidence and clarity. Whether it’s a first evaluation at age 7 or active treatment during the teen years, our family orthodontist care is gentle, personalized, and designed to grow with your child.

Why Start Dental Treatment Young?

Early orthodontic evaluations allow us to identify bite issues, jaw growth concerns, and misalignment before they worsen. Starting treatment at the right time can shorten overall treatment, reduce the need for extractions, and prevent future discomfort.

Common early issues we address:

  • Crossbites and overbites

  • Crowding or spacing problems

  • Thumb-sucking habits

  • Jaw growth discrepancies

  • Permanent teeth erupting abnormally
