Orthodontic Care for Children and Teens in the Greater Seattle area.

I’ll create a personalized treatment plan based on your child’s age, dental development, and any functional concerns they may have. Orthodontics can help treat functional concerns as early as age 3. If you’ve noticed poor sleep, snoring, mouth breathing, clenching/grinding, or speech sound errors, chronic congestion/nasal issues, or a history of enlarged tonsils and adenoids, an orthodontic evaluation is recommended.

I believe that orthodontic and dentofacial orthopedic treatment should go beyond just having straight teeth. With the right treatment at the right time, we can guide facial and jaw growth and address functional concerns. When we grow well, our teeth have a better chance of erupting into a healthy position. I’ll take a close look at your child’s teeth, bite, and growth pattern, listen to your concerns, and then explain my assessment and diagnosis in simple terms and give you an honest recommendation.
