Our goal is to help you and your family smile like you never have before. No matter how old you are, we want to see your smile dreams come true.
Orthodontics for Children
The American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) recommends that children have their first orthodontic checkup around age seven, a view shared by Dr. Vo. That's why, at Complete Dental Studio, we emphasize early treatment for children.
Detecting and addressing orthodontic issues at an early age allows us to manage problems more effectively as they develop.
Unlocking Early Treatment
Early orthodontic treatment, also known as Phase One treatment, is a specialized orthodontic intervention Dr. Vo provides. This treatment occurs while your child still has most of their primary (baby) teeth, typically between the ages of six and ten.
Its primary focus is to correct jaw growth and specific bite problems, manage underbites, and guide the proper development of incoming permanent teeth.
Why Phase One Matters
Several factors can indicate the need for early orthodontic treatment in children, including tooth growth patterns, early or delayed loss of baby teeth, and habits like thumb-sucking.
Dr. Vo recommends scheduling your child's first appointment by age seven to detect and address issues promptly.
Early intervention allows us to supervise jaw growth, prevent protruding front teeth, and discourage harmful habits, ultimately leading to enhanced smiles for your children.
Advantages of Phase One Treatment
Discover how early detection and orthodontic intervention can benefit your child:
- Correcting Jaw Growth: Early treatment ensures proper jaw development to accommodate permanent teeth, improving the alignment of upper and lower jaws.
- Reducing Trauma Risk: By reducing protrusion, early treatment lowers the risk of injury to front teeth, protecting your child's smile.
- Addressing Harmful Habits: Intercepting issues like thumb-sucking can prevent long-term damage, promoting healthier oral habits.
- Improving Oral Function: Early intervention enhances bite function, making eating more comfortable and giving children more explicit speech.
Orthodontics for Teens
At Complete Dental Studio, we believe in providing customized orthodontic care to individuals at every life stage, including teenagers.
Adolescence is an ideal time for orthodontic treatment, and our team strives to make this phase as seamless and effective as possible for our teenage patients.
The Role of Orthodontics in Adolescence
Orthodontic treatment during the teenage years serves a crucial purpose beyond improving smiles. It lays the foundation for healthy oral function and boosts confidence. Here's why adolescence is an optimal time for orthodontic intervention:
- Emergence of Permanent Teeth: By the teenage years, most permanent teeth have erupted, allowing us to address misalignments or bite issues for lasting results.
- Capitalizing on Growth: Adolescents experience significant growth and jaw development, which Dr. Vo leverages to guide teeth and jaws into healthier positions more efficiently.
- Social & Emotional Considerations: Braces or clear aligners are common among teenagers, fostering acceptance and a positive outlook on orthodontic treatment. We offer aesthetic options like ceramic braces and Invisalign to meet adolescent patients' personal and social needs.
Orthodontic for Adults
At Complete Dental Studio, we understand that adults with alignment or bite issues seek effective orthodontic treatment. Our specialized adult treatments gently reposition your teeth and jaw over time, helping you achieve the desired results.
Advantages of Adult Treatment
We recognize that an imperfect smile can affect an adult's confidence and daily interactions. Our adult orthodontic treatments are designed to realign your teeth, boost your self-esteem, and elevate the overall quality of your life.
Dr. Vo and our team provide personalized care tailored to your dental needs, ensuring precise and thoughtful treatment. Whether your concerns are minor or complex, we're here to guide you toward a smile you're proud to share.
