The relationships we are lucky to build with our patients is one of the greatest blessings of our jobs. We love all of our families and are lucky enough to treat siblings. Big sister gets to enjoy no more braces and little brother gets to start his journey for phase 2!

Miss Kayleigh started her early intervention orthodontic treatment! We are so excited to see her smile transformation with this early phase of treatment. Just reducing the protrusion of the incisor is going to make such a big difference and also be at less risk of trauma while also creating space for her adult teeth to be able to erupt. 😎

Let’s talk about the importance of oral hygiene with your children, especially during orthodontic treatment! We always want you seeing your dentist every 6 months for cleanings even during treatment to ensure we are keeping everything as healthy as possible. 😎

Remember, if you are not flossing, you’re missing almost 40% of your tooth’s surfaces! That’s missing almost half the tooth! Decay in your child’s teeth can cause so many issues and we just want every person to have the smile they truly want and deserve, decay free 🙌🏼
