Preventive & Early Orthodontics
At Bracestation, we believe in addressing orthodontic issues early to prevent more complex problems in the future. Our preventive and early orthodontic treatments are designed specifically for children and teenagers to guide proper dental development and create beautiful, healthy smiles.
Kids' Orthodontics
Early orthodontic evaluation allows us to identify and address potential issues before they become more serious. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends children have their first orthodontic check-up no later than age 7.
Benefits:
- Early detection of potential orthodontic problems
- Guidance of jaw growth for better alignment
- Reduction in the need for tooth extractions
- Potentially shorter treatment time in the future
Space Maintainers
When a baby tooth is lost prematurely, space maintainers can hold the space open until the permanent tooth erupts. This prevents shifting of adjacent teeth and potential crowding issues.
Benefits:
- Preservation of space for permanent teeth
- Prevention of crowding and misalignment
- Reduction in the need for extensive orthodontic treatment later
- Custom-fitted for comfort and effectiveness
Habit Breakers
Habits like thumb sucking, tongue thrusting, and mouth breathing can affect dental development. Our habit breakers help children overcome these habits before they cause significant orthodontic problems.
Benefits:
- Elimination of harmful oral habits
- Prevention of dental and skeletal deformities
- Improvement in oral function and development
- Gentle and effective approach for children
Palatal Expanders
Palatal expanders widen the upper jaw to correct crossbites, crowding, and breathing issues. This treatment is most effective in growing children before the palatal suture fuses.
Benefits:
- Creation of space for crowded teeth
- Correction of crossbites
- Improvement in breathing and airway function
- Reduction in the need for tooth extractions
Teen Orthodontics
The teenage years are often an ideal time for orthodontic treatment as all permanent teeth are usually present. We offer various options tailored specifically for teenagers' unique needs.
Benefits:
- Treatment during optimal growth period
- Multiple options including less visible alternatives
- Improvement in self-confidence during formative years
- Prevention of long-term dental problems
