Gilbert Orthodontic Treatment For All Ages

Whether it’s your child’s first visit at age seven or you’re an adult seeking a straighter smile, we offer a range of orthodontic solutions for all ages.

Braces for Kids

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends children visit an orthodontist around age seven. At this stage, a mix of baby and adult teeth allows for early diagnosis and intervention without surgery.

Benefits of Early Treatment:

• Guides jaw growth for proper alignment
• Regulates arch width
• Creates space for incoming permanent teeth
• May prevent the need for extractions later
• Helps correct thumb-sucking and speech issues

Signs Your Child May Need Braces:

• Early or late loss of baby teeth
• Difficulty chewing or biting
• Mouth breathing
• Thumb or finger sucking
• Crowded or misplaced teeth
• Jaw popping or clicking
• Abnormal bite
• Disproportionate jaws or teeth
• Crowded front teeth by age 7-8

Schedule a free consultation to assess your child’s needs and set the foundation for a healthy, beautiful smile.

Orthodontics for Adults

One in five orthodontic patients is over 21. Adults recognize the value of oral health and confident smiles.

Why Adults Choose Orthodontics:

• Malocclusion (bad bite)
• Crowded or spaced teeth
• Jaw pain due to misalignment
• Boost in confidence and oral health

Modern Adult Treatment Options:

• Clear or ceramic braces
• Self-ligating braces
• Invisalign®
• Traditional metal braces

Key Differences in Adult Treatment:

• Jaw growth: Adult bones are fully developed; surgery may be needed for alignment.
• Periodontal health: Adults face a higher risk of gum disease and bone loss.
• Missing or worn teeth: Orthodontics can correct shifting due to wear or loss.
• Incomplete prior treatment: Adults often revisit orthodontics to complete treatment started in youth.

Why Consider Treatment Now?

• Healthier teeth: Aligned teeth are easier to clean and maintain.
• More confidence: A beautiful smile boosts self-esteem and quality of life.
• Prevent future issues: Addressing problems early can save on future dental costs.
