Early Orthodontics

About Early Orthodontics

I enjoy getting to know my patients and building meaningful relationships. I understand that each person is unique and that they have diverse cultural backgrounds, so I strive to actively listen and empower them to be an advocate for the health and wellness goals that are important to them. I’m dedicated to providing compassionate and individualized care by providing patient education and practicing evidence-based medicine. I’m passionate about practicing preventive medicine and helping my patients manage acute and chronic health conditions, mental health.

I find joy by doing almost any outdoor activity, including hiking, running, and exploring with our furbabies. I enjoy spending time with family and friends. I also strive to live mindfully and intentionally by creating uplifting routines and relaxing rituals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Early orthodontic treatment, also called interceptive orthodontics, is care provided to children (usually ages 6–10) to guide jaw growth, correct bite issues, and create space for permanent teeth before all adult teeth come in.
It helps prevent more serious dental problems later. Early treatment can correct habits (like thumb sucking), guide jaw development, and reduce the need for future braces or extractions.
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an initial orthodontic evaluation by age 7. This allows early detection of potential alignment or bite problems.
Most early orthodontic treatments last between 6 to 18 months, depending on the child’s individual needs and growth patterns.
Sometimes, yes. Early orthodontics sets the foundation for a healthier bite and easier alignment later. In many cases, later treatment is shorter and less complex.
