Pediatric Orthodontics​

Lindner Dental Associates provides pediatric orthodontic services from braces to mouth guards. Our facilities offer pediatric dentistry and orthodontics, allowing for the collaboration of two dental specialists to work together to improve your child’s dental health. The pediatric dentist may identify orthodontic issues and refer you to an orthodontist who will conduct a comprehensive evaluation and review a treatment plan. 

Orthodontists ensure proper spacing and alignment for a healthy and beautiful smile. Proper alignment makes brushing and flossing easier, reduces the risk of decay, fracturing and other injuries. Our orthodontic treatment can also correct facial and jaw malalignment, improve airway flow, reduce pain and build your child’s confidence.

Reasons for Pediatric Orthodontic Treatment

Pediatric orthodontic treatment can guide the growth of facial and jawbones and address potential issues early. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children have their first orthodontic visit before age seven. An orthodontist might recommend treatment for a child who has the following issues:

  • Underbite or overbite
  • Crossbite — the jaw is shifted to the side
  • Overcrowded front teeth
  • Gapped teeth that are too far apart
  • Missing or extra teeth
  • Thumb sucking or pacifier use that affects teeth and jaw growth

Pediatric Orthodontic Services

Orthodontic treatment for children can address issues caused by sports injuries, dental disease, accidents, or abnormal swallowing. An orthodontist will perform a visual evaluation during consultation and recommend a treatment plan if necessary. Orthodontists can prescribe fixed or removable appliances to realign the jaw and move or hold teeth in place. Lindner Dental Associates offers a range of orthodontic services, including:

Invisalign

These clear, removable aligners gently straighten your child’s teeth. Invisalign recognizes us as Diamond Providers because of our extensive experience treating patients with Invisalign to achieve beautiful smiles.

These customized 3D-printed braces allow for better accuracy and efficiency with orthodontic treatment.

Sleep apnea
