Invisalign or Braces for Kids
The American Association of Orthodontics recommends that children have an orthodontic exam by age 7. We welcome kids of all ages at Ward + Campbell Orthodontics! Our awesome team can help you with early detection, prevention, and treatment. There is no need to wait for a referral so you can schedule a consultation at any time! Some kids benefit from early treatment, most kids benefit from occasional check-in’s and all kids are invited to join our Kid’s Club….which is just for fun!

BENEFITS OF EARLY TREATMENT:
Kids grow so fast! Through monitoring jaw and facial growth, it is possible to prevent future crowding of the adult teeth. An early treatment plan can smooth the process of achieving beautiful straight teeth and a correct bite. Early treatment also reinforces the importance of taking care of your teeth at an early age!
TREATMENT OPTIONS:
Some kids benefit from early treatment, called “Phase 1”. Early evaluations can detect preventable problems such as crowding or cross-bites. Phase 1 is a treatment phase where a child would receive early treatment in preparation for “Phase 2”, or later treatment. Preventative care can help reduce tooth extraction, impacted permanent teeth, and aid in correcting thumb-sucking, abnormal swallowing, and speech problems.
Orthodontics for Teens
Teens can benefit from the modern technology of self-ligating braces or Invisalign clear aligners. Some teens prefer the look of clear ceramic braces. Whatever the choice, Ward + Campbell Orthodontics will customize treatment for proper tooth and jaw alignment, making sure that growing into a beautiful, straight smile is a terrific experience.

- Aesthetics – clear aligners are more discreet – virtually invisible!

- Comfort – less irritation to cheeks and gums
- Oral hygiene – being able to remove aligners for brushing and flossing means no wires or brackets to clean around

BENEFITS OF BRACES FOR TEENS:
The teenage years are a great time to work with natural growth and development. Beautiful, straight, and properly aligned teeth are easier to keep clean, preventing future cavities and decay. Many studies have shown that people with healthier smiles have more confidence and often enjoy more success in school, work, and their communities.

BENEFITS OF BRACES FOR ADULTS:
A straight and healthy smile can increase self confidence and have an effect on whole-body health. Having a properly aligned bite can help prevent decay, uneven wear on certain teeth, and even help relieve pressure on the jaw.
