Building the Foundation for a Lifetime of Smiles
Orthodontics for Children
Early orthodontic evaluations are crucial for setting the foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles for your child.
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends children have their first orthodontic check-up by age seven. While your child may not need treatment at this age, early evaluations help us keep an eye on their growth and development.
Why Early Treatment Matters
Jaw imbalances like overbites, underbites, and crossbites benefit from early intervention. Correcting these issues while your child’s jaw is still developing can prevent more severe problems later on.
Protruding front teeth are more likely to get injured. Early treatment can reduce this risk.
Crowding or spacing can also impact your child’s self-esteem. Early orthodontic care can improve their smile and boost their confidence.
Our Approach to Early Treatment
Only about 20% of children need early treatment. For most, we offer a supervision program to monitor their dental development every 4 – 6 months, ensuring timely intervention when needed.
Types of Treatments for Children
Phase I treatment addresses significant issues early, guiding your child’s jaw growth and their incoming permanent teeth.
Expanders help to gently widen the upper jaw, creating more space for crowded teeth and improving bite alignment. Partial braces address specific issues early without waiting for all permanent teeth to come in.
Early treatment can guide the growth of the jaw and teeth, reducing the risk of injury to the front teeth and boosting your child’s confidence. It also makes future orthodontic care shorter and less complicated.
Shaping Confident Smiles During the Teen Years
Orthodontics for Teens
The teenage years are an ideal time for orthodontic treatment. At LakePointe Orthodontics, we offer braces and Invisalign options designed to fit your teen’s active lifestyle and aesthetic preferences.
Why Orthodontics for Teens?
Most permanent teeth have come in by adolescence, making it the perfect time to correct alignment and bite issues. A straight smile can significantly boost your teen’s self-esteem and social interactions.
Addressing orthodontic problems during the teen years can prevent more serious dental issues later in life.
Treatment Options for Teens
- Traditional metal braces are more comfortable and stylish than ever while still reliably correcting many orthodontic issues.
- Ceramic braces work like traditional braces but use clear or tooth-colored materials, making them less noticeable.
- Invisalign aligners are clear, removable, and comfortable, and they provide a nearly invisible way to straighten teeth and let teens enjoy their favorite foods and activities without interruption.
Our team works closely with your teen to create a personalized treatment plan that fits their needs and goals. We make the treatment process smooth and enjoyable, resulting in a confident smile.

Whether you want to correct long-standing issues or achieve a smile makeover, we have solutions to fit your lifestyle.
Why Orthodontics for Adults?
Straightening your teeth can improve oral health, making it easier to clean your teeth and reducing the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. Orthodontic treatment can enhance your smile, boosting your confidence in personal and professional interactions.
Straight teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease. A straight smile can boost your confidence and make a positive impression.
