Even though your child’s permanent teeth may still be growing in, early orthodontic assessments can identify potential problems with jaw development, bite alignment, and spacing. Early treatment, also called interceptive orthodontics, can guide proper jaw growth, create space for erupting teeth, and correct alignment issues to prevent more extensive treatment later.
During your child’s visit, our orthodontist will assess their teeth, bite, and jaw growth. If treatment is needed, we’ll design a personalized plan that fits their unique needs. Early treatment options may include expanders, space maintainers, or limited braces to address specific concerns and set the stage for successful alignment in the future. By addressing these issues early, we can help your child avoid potential discomfort, complex procedures, or extended treatment down the road. Give your child the gift of a healthy, confident smile. Schedule their orthodontic evaluation with us today!
We monitor and guide the growth of the jaw to ensure it accommodates all teeth properly and develops in balance.
A crossbite occurs when the upper and lower teeth don’t align properly. Correcting this early can prevent uneven jaw growth and wear on teeth.
If permanent teeth are blocked due to limited space, we can create room to prevent misalignment.
Whether your child has gaps between teeth or teeth that are too close together, we can adjust spacing for a healthier bite and better aesthetics.
After seeing several orthodontists for consultations, I almost gave up on correcting my smile. Then I met Dr. Grinbaum, who was referred to me by a co-worker. Her credentials were great and her professional manner was a relief. She reviewed the treatment options with me. I chose her treatment plan because I trusted her. I could not be happier with my decision.
