Orthodontics for Children
Dr. Sarah and her team at Dr. Sarah Orthodontics & Aesthetics treat your children like their own.
It often surprises parents that the American Association of Orthodontists recommends that your child receive an orthodontic evaluation no later than the age of seven, or at the earliest sign of orthodontic problems.
Because your child's teeth have developed enough by age seven, Dr. Sarah and her expert team are able to spot subtle problems with emerging teeth and jaw growth before your child loses all of their baby teeth. This early intervention allows for the most efficient and effective treatment plans.
Your first consultation at Dr. Sarah Orthodontics & Aesthetics may reveal that your child's bite is fine, and braces for kids aren't necessary at this time.
Alternatively, Dr. Sarah may identify a developing problem but recommend monitoring your child's growth and development, for the time being. After that, we can begin treatment at the appropriate time if Dr. Sarah still thinks it’s appropriate for your child.
Early treatment at our office in Virginia Beach may prevent or intercept more serious problems from developing and may make treatment at a later age shorter and less complicated.
In some cases, Dr. Sarah can achieve results that may not be possible once your child’s face and jaws have finished growing.
Orthodontics for Teens
For teens around the Virginia Beach area, the most common time for orthodontic treatment is during adolescence, between the ages of 11 and 16.
Experienced orthodontists like Dr. Sarah recognize issues with spacing, crowding, bite, and alignment in this age range. Also, your teen’s bone and jaw structure are formed enough to allow orthodontic treatment to begin.
At Dr. Sarah Orthodontics & Aesthetics, your teen can choose between Invisalign clear aligners, metal braces, or clear ceramic braces. Each of these choices offers unique benefits while transforming your teen’s smile.
Orthodontics for Adults
Your smile is often the first thing other people notice about you. Do you love yours?
You’re never too old to benefit from orthodontic treatment with Dr. Sarah, and that’s why we offer orthodontics for adults at Dr. Sarah Orthodontics & Aesthetics.
Believe it or not, your teeth don’t stop moving after your teen years. Teeth that seemed straight and aligned in youth could have shifted later in life. This can lead to bite changes, jaw pain, trouble brushing, or even significant tooth wear and tear.
Dr. Sarah can address these issues and more through orthodontic treatment, giving you the healthy smile you’ve always dreamed about. Often, we can correct orthodontic problems at Dr. Sarah Orthodontics & Aesthetics just as easily for adults as for children.
Dr. Sarah uses orthodontic forces to move teeth in the same way for both adults and children, and you’ll notice the benefits of your treatment in no time.
Why Should You Think About Orthodontic Treatment?
Straight Teeth Are Healthy
After Dr. Sarah aligns your teeth correctly, it’s easier for you to clean them through regular flossing and brushing. This helps prevent other oral issues, including some problems that can affect your overall health.
A Straight Smile Builds Confidence & Self-Esteem
Successful orthodontic treatment at Dr. Sarah Orthodontics & Aesthetics can help boost your self-confidence, create a better quality of life, and allow you to smile freely for perhaps the first time.
Untreated Oral Issues Will Get Worse
If you choose to decline or delay recommended orthodontic treatment, you may run into long-term health issues that may wind up costing you more in the end.
At Dr. Sarah Orthodontics & Aesthetics, our team understands that teens, kids, and adults all have different dental needs, so we give every patient personalized care.
We’ll work diligently for you to make sure you receive the most appropriate treatment at our warm and inviting office in Virginia Beach.
