Many adults are under the misconception that braces are just for kids or teenagers. It's never too late to invest in your smile! Getting braces can significantly improve your dental health and boost your self-confidence. Misaligned teeth can lead to various dental issues, including gum disease, tooth decay, and even tooth loss. By choosing to get braces, you're not just enhancing your smile but also preventing potential oral health problems. Moreover, with advancements in orthodontic technology, braces are now more comfortable and less noticeable than ever before.

If you or your child have a narrow upper jaw, palatal expansion can be a game-changer. This treatment can correct crossbites where the upper teeth bite inside the lower ones, which can lead to asymmetric jaw growth if left untreated. Palatal expansion can also create more space in a crowded mouth, reducing the need for tooth extraction in the future. Moreover, it can help with breathing issues. A narrow palate can sometimes lead to a constricted nasal passage. By expanding the palate, it can open up the nasal passages, leading to improved breathing.

Furthermore, improving your sleep quality can lead to better energy levels, mood, and productivity during the day.

Early orthodontic treatment, also referred to as “Phase 1 orthodontic treatment” or “interceptive orthodontic treatment”, refers to orthodontic treatment performed between the ages of 7-10. The American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) recommends that a child's first check-up be at age 7. At this time, your child has enough permanent teeth to allow Dr. Tauber to spot subtle problems with jaw growth patterns, as well as emerging teeth. Early orthodontic treatment is often required if your child has major oral development issues that should be corrected while their mouths are still growing.
