Give Your Child Strong Jaws & Straight Teeth for Life

The right jaw development during childhood can prevent big problems later. At Orthodontic Alliances, we know that catching jaw issues early gives your child the best chance for a healthy smile that lasts.

Kids get the most benefit when treatment starts early. When we watch how jaws grow during childhood, we can often stop serious problems before they happen. How your upper and lower jaws fit together affects both how your teeth line up and how your face looks.

We suggest bringing children for their first checkup around age 7. At this key time, we can spot growth patterns that might cause trouble later on. Early treatment with special devices can gently guide growing jaws into the right positions. This method usually means fewer problems and better results as your child gets older.

We offer dentofacial orthopedic options for your family:

  • Growth Control Devices – These tools help guide natural jaw growth while fixing alignment issues during growing years
  • Upper Jaw Widening Tools – Custom devices that make the upper jaw wider to create room for teeth and help breathing
  • Lower Jaw Growth Helpers – Special tools that encourage healthy lower jaw development for better face balance and proper bite

Our care goes beyond just making teeth straight. We focus on helping patients breathe better, speak more clearly, and keep proper face shape. Our team works closely with families to look at all choices and build treatment plans made for each person’s needs.

The benefits go far beyond having straight teeth. When jaws line up right, cleaning teeth gets easier, teeth wear evenly, and the mouth feels better overall. Many patients also get better airflow and fewer headaches or jaw pain.

Each treatment starts with learning what makes your smile special. We take detailed pictures and exact measurements to see how your jaws and teeth work together. This helps us find problem areas and make the best plan for your specific needs.

Getting started is easy.
