Orthodontics for Kids & Teens

The American Association for Orthodontists recommends that every child have an orthodontic evaluation by the age of 7. Early detection and treatment gives your child the edge - a much better chance for natural and normal development. One advantage of having Dr. Shaw, Dr. Martin and Dr. Ashley for your child’s dental home is that we monitor their growth & development on a regular basis.  If your child is a candidate for orthodontic services, Dr. Pearce is available to treat your child at our office.  Our parents truly appreciate having orthodontic treatment done in our office.  This allows them to coordinate cleaning and check-up appointments with orthodontic appointments.

 

By working with the natural growth instead of against it, we can prevent problems from becoming worse, and give your child or teen a lifetime of healthy smiles! Studies have shown that people who have straight teeth are more likely to smile more. This leads to a greater self esteem which may lead to a more fulfilling life.
