Does your child need orthodontic care?

As a parent, you want the best for your child – including a healthy, confident smile. But sometimes it’s hard to know where to start. Should your child begin treatment now? What are the options? And how do you make sure the process is smooth and stress-free?

Early Treatment (Ages 6-10):

Addressing issues early can prevent more serious problems and set the foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles. Our early interceptive treatments include:

  • Guiding jaw growth for a proper bite

  • Creating space for permanent teeth to grow in naturally

  • Avoiding the need for more complex treatments later

“My 9-year-old son has been a patient of Dr. Grace’s for years. He normally gets nervous about dentists, but he LOVES seeing her. His teeth were overcrowded, and she fitted him with a palate expander that worked beautifully. Dr. Grace is so patient and kind, always answering all our questions. I can’t recommend her highly enough!”
