Affordable Orthodontics in Phoenix Arizona

We offer orthodontics in Phoenix to patients of all ages. Whether your child needs early orthodontics to help correct bite-related problems, or he has been dealing with crooked teeth his entire life, we have a solution for your family.

While other treatments such as porcelain veneers can improve a crooked smile, adult orthodontics provides a more effective alternative to veneers or other cosmetic dentistry. Orthodontics can also provide the ideal foundation for any cosmetic treatment. Even more importantly, orthodontics for adults can balance your bite, relieve tension and pain, and offer comfort and longevity to your precious teeth.

Early treatment of malocclusion or other bite and balance problems with orthodontics can be key to the correct oral-facial development of children. We can often correct an overbite or underbite at a young age, preventing years of imbalance in facial growth. Additionally, many children find relief from allergies and respiratory problems, such as mouth breathing, when we properly develop their jaws as they grow.

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends taking your children to a check appointment if they have:

• Difficulty biting or chewing.
• Crowded teeth.
• The upper teeth protrude from the lower ones.
• Lower teeth overlapping upper teeth.
• Teeth that are crowded or too far apart.
• Teeth that don’t meet properly (notice if the spaces between the front teeth line up).

Additionally, if your child had or has the habit of thumb sucking, we should also know about it.

If your upper jaw is too narrow, we will create a custom palatal expander. A palatal expander is an oral appliance used to widen the upper jaw so that the upper and lower teeth fit together correctly.

Your children shouldn’t have to struggle with crooked, crowded, or diseased teeth, and neither should you. Schedule a consultation with us to learn about the orthodontic treatment options we have for your family.
