Growth checks
Part of growth and development visits — bite, eruption timing, and habits.
StepsTreatments
We do not fit braces or run full orthodontic treatment here. What we do is watch bite and jaw growth at routine visits, take screening records when needed, and refer to a specialist orthodontist when braces or aligners are the right next step.
What we do here
Growth checks, photos, screening x-rays, habit advice, and referral letters — not brackets, aligner courses, or wire adjustments at this clinic.
Part of growth and development visits — bite, eruption timing, and habits.
StepsCrossbite, crowding, thumb habits, or an adult tooth stuck under the gum — we note and explain timing.
StepsLetter, photos, and x-rays to an orthodontist when active treatment belongs with them — not us.
FAQsRead this first
If you need someone to put brackets on and see you every six weeks for adjustments, you need a specialist orthodontist. These accordions spell out our scope, warning signs, and how early tooth loss fits in.
Routine bite checks, eruption tracking, photos, screening x-rays, and habit advice at check ups. Referral when specialist care is due.
Hygiene visits continue here while braces happen elsewhere.
Full fixed braces, clear aligner treatment plans, regular ortho adjustment appointments, or complex jaw surgery coordination in-house.
We will not pretend this clinic is an orthodontist's office.
Crossbites, an underbite, severe crowding, or an adult tooth not coming down after months. Thumb or dummy habits past preschool can change jaw shape.
Early loss may need a space maintainer — that is separate from braces.
Note bite concerns when you book online. We watch at ordinary visits — no upsell to braces.
Referral timing depends on eruption and severity, not a sales calendar.
The process
From a routine check to a specialist orthodontist if braces are needed — not fitted here.
We note bite and eruption at ordinary visits — no separate braces consult.
Photos and plain language on whether to watch, refer now, or refer later.
Orthodontist appointment with records when active treatment is due elsewhere.
Check ups and hygiene continue here while braces happen at the specialist.
Honest answers
Braces here, cost, baby teeth, and nervous teens — straight answers.
No. We monitor and refer. Adjustments and full courses are with an orthodontist.
Specialist fees are quoted by the orthodontist. Screening at check ups is part of ordinary visits here.
Early loss can cause crowding — maintainers and timing both matter before braces.
Orthodontists expect questions. We refer with notes so the first specialist visit is informed.
Before referral
Age, aligners, and adult referral — not covered above.
No. We screen at check ups and refer to a specialist when active treatment is needed.
Often around seven to eight at a routine visit, or earlier if you see obvious crowding or bite problems.
No. Aligner treatment plans and delivery are with an orthodontist or qualified provider we refer you to.
Yes. Crooked teeth are not only a childhood issue. We refer adults the same way.
All treatments
Mention it at the next check. We will tell you if a specialist look is worth it now or later — we will not sell you braces in-house.
