When should my child visit the orthodontist for a checkup?

The American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) recommends scheduling your child’s first visit with an orthodontist by age seven. By this age, most children have developed enough permanent teeth for us to identify any emerging orthodontic concerns. Early intervention allows us to address potential issues before they escalate, often helping your child avoid braces later on through interceptive orthodontics and targeted exercises.

At Amp Orthodontics & Kids Dental, we provide comprehensive orthodontic services for patients of all ages—from children to teens and adults, too! If your child is already seeing Dr. Hoina for general dentistry, we’ll be proactively tracking their dental development. This integration of pediatric care and orthodontics is a significant advantage, ensuring oversight by a board-certified orthodontist who will keep a keen, specialist’s eye on your child’s health and well-being.

Am I too old for orthodontic treatment?

Absolutely not! According to the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO), one in three patients undergoing orthodontic treatment is an adult. With more treatment options than ever, we offer a variety of solutions for straightening your teeth and correcting a “bad bite.” Whether your priority is discretion, comfort, or achieving optimal results, we’ll find the perfect solution for your smile.

What Types of Braces Are Available?

As a full-service orthodontic practice, we provide two main categories of treatment: clear aligner therapy and braces. Clear aligners, often recognized by the brand Invisalign, are a modern alternative to traditional braces, using a series of transparent, flexible, and removable oral appliances to gently guide your teeth into proper alignment. Today’s braces are cosmetic, comfortable, and lightweight. To explore the different types of braces we offer and find the best option for you, click here to learn more.

How Do Modern Braces Enhance Aesthetics?

Today’s orthodontic options are designed with your smile in mind. Many patients now choose braces made from clear or tooth-colored materials that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, making them less noticeable. Additionally, lingual braces, which are placed on the back surfaces of the teeth, offer a completely discreet alternative. With these advancements, you can pursue orthodontic treatment with confidence, knowing that your smile—not your braces—takes center stage.

Why should I choose an orthodontist for treatments like clear aligners?

While clear aligners have become increasingly accessible, moving teeth is a complex biological process that requires the expertise of a specialized orthodontist like Dr. Hoina. A board-certified specialist is skilled at identifying potential complications early, ensuring effective results and helping you avoid unnecessary challenges down the line. After all, you only have one smile.
