Palatal expanders are devices that gently widen the upper jaw to make room for crowded teeth or correct crossbites. Our expanders are customized for comfort and success—ensuring a more natural and effective bite for developing mouths.

Sometimes limited braces are recommended on the upper or lower teeth to correct alignment or spacing issues early. Dr. T or Dr. Jen personally adjust appliances and explain each step, keeping treatment easy to understand and parent-approved.

If a baby tooth is lost early, a space maintainer can keep the area open to guide the adult tooth into the right position. We craft these subtle appliances in-office to prevent future crowding or misalignment.

Thumb sucking, tongue thrusting, or other oral habits can lead to orthodontic concerns. We offer gentle intervention through custom habit appliances that help break habits early—protecting your child’s developing bite.

In some cases, removing a baby tooth at the right time can guide proper tooth alignment and speed up orthodontic progress. Dr. T and Dr. Jen take a proactive, minimally invasive approach when interceptive extractions are recommended.

For younger patients finishing Phase 1 treatment, retainers help hold teeth in their new positions while we wait for all the permanent teeth to come in. Dr. T and Dr. Jen will choose the best retainer option for your child and make sure both you and your kiddo understand how to care for it.
