Early orthodontic treatmentEarly treatment that pays for itself
Guiding growth at the right moment can prevent extractions, impacted teeth and even jaw surgery later. That is why the first evaluation, recommended around age 7, is always free here.

What early (interceptive) treatment includes
- Palatal expanders to widen a narrow upper jaw, correct crossbites and open the airway
- Space maintainers that hold room for adult teeth when baby teeth are lost early
- Partial braces to correct problems that get harder to fix once growth ends
- Invisalign First aligners designed specifically for growing kids
- Airway and habit evaluation: mouth breathing, thumb habits and tongue posture all shape a growing face
Two-phase treatment, explained honestly
Phase 1 guides growth while your child is young. After a resting period, Phase 2 (usually full braces in the teen years) finishes the alignment. Not every child needs two phases, and we will tell you plainly if yours does not. Read more about two-phase treatment.

Frequently asked questions
Does my 7-year-old really need to see an orthodontist?
An evaluation, yes; treatment, usually not yet. Most kids we evaluate simply enter free growth monitoring. The ones who do need early treatment benefit enormously from the timing.
What problems does early treatment prevent?
Crossbites that wear teeth unevenly, crowding that would otherwise need extractions, impacted teeth, harmful habits and some airway issues.
What does early treatment cost?
It depends on the appliance. Evaluations and growth monitoring are free, and any treatment comes with transparent pricing and 0% in-house financing.
