Within our family and pediatric dental practice located in Fairfax, VA, we specialize in orthodontics as well. We work with you and your child to help them achieve a clean healthy, straight smile. Thanks to the advancements in orthodontic procedures, we have the ability in some cases to correct your child’s bite without the necessity of getting braces. At as early as six years old, an arch expander can be placed in your child’s mouth to help guide the proper movement of teeth during their developmental stage, every child is different, but we work with your family to give you the best options for your children. Braces may still be required in the future, but for a shorter period. Getting your children seen at an earlier age and treating early can help in the future.
