Protect Your Child’s Oral Health With Interventional Orthodontics

We understand the crucial role that early orthodontics can play in your child’s oral health and overall development. A healthy, functional smile is important to their well-being. Our team is dedicated to providing preventive orthodontic care in a warm, child-friendly environment to help them enjoy their best smile.

Our preventive orthodontic treatment options include:

  • The Myobrace® System – This innovative, removable oral appliance helps guide your child’s jaw development and tooth alignment while encouraging proper tongue positioning and breathing habits. This comfortable, non-invasive alternative to traditional braces can be particularly effective when used in early childhood.
  • Upper and Lower Palatal Expanders – These custom-made appliances are designed to gently and gradually widen your child’s upper or lower jaw. This creates more space for proper tooth alignment and improves their bite function. Palatal expanders are often recommended for overcrowding or a narrow jaw. They can help prevent the need for more extensive orthodontic treatment later in life.

Your dentist will work with you and your child to determine the most appropriate preventive orthodontic treatment plan. We will use advanced diagnostic tools, such as digital X-rays and 3-D imaging, to assess your child’s jaw growth and tooth development, ensuring that we provide the best, most effective care possible.
