Why Early Orthodontic Evaluation Matters?
Orthodontists recommend that children have their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. This is recommended even if no visible issues are present. At this age, the jaw and teeth are still developing, making it easier to detect problems early.

Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are custom-made, transparent trays that gently move your teeth into alignment. They're removable, comfortable, and nearly invisible. This makes them a popular choice for teens and adults seeking a discreet treatment option. Worn for 20–22 hours a day and replaced every 1–2 weeks.
Retainers
Retainers are custom-made appliances worn after orthodontic treatment to maintain the new position of your teeth. After active treatment ends, your teeth can shift back to their original places if not held in position. Wearing your retainer as directed is a vital final step to protect your investment in orthodontic care.
