Children matter! Giving them the best chance at achieving their full potential is our passion. At every recare exam, our doctors monitor the growth and development of our growing children patients. We act at the first bad signs in the way a child’s face is growing or how the teeth are coming in. We use “interceptive orthodontics” as an early intervention to reduce the complexity and need for second phase orthodontics later on.

Some orthodontic problems stem from orofacial - myofunctional issues (mouth breathing, thumb sucking, tongue thrust, improper swallow, etc.) which hinder children’s growth and development in their jaw and face. Hence, retraining the muscle function and habits of the face and tongue may reduce the chance or eliminate the need of extracting healthy teeth, surgery and wearing retainers in the future.
