Orthodontics for Children
Orthodontics for children focuses on diagnosing, preventing, and treating dental and facial abnormalities during the early stages of a child’s growth. Recognizing and addressing potential orthodontic issues at a younger age can lead to more straightforward interventions and often reduces the need for more complex treatments in the future.
Child-specific orthodontics involves a combination of monitoring the development of the teeth and jaw, guiding incoming teeth into their correct positions, and preserving space for unerupted teeth. The aim is not just aesthetic. Properly aligned teeth enhance oral hygiene, as they are easier to clean and less prone to cavities and gum disease.
Moreover, early orthodontic treatments can boost a child’s self-confidence, ensuring they grow up with a healthy, beautiful smile. By integrating growth patterns, children’s orthodontics offers a proactive approach to dental health, laying the groundwork for a lifetime of radiant smiles.
Proactive Problem Detection
Early orthodontic evaluation allows for the detection of dental and jaw alignment issues at an initial stage. Addressing these concerns during a child’s developmental phase can often lead to simpler, more efficient treatments
Enhanced Oral Health
Properly aligned teeth are less prone to decay and gum disease since they can be easier to clean and maintain. Orthodontics can prevent complications like overlapping or crowded teeth, which often become traps for food and bacteria.
Boosted Confidence
Achieving a straight and healthy smile early on can significantly enhance a child’s self-image and confidence. As peers and social interactions play a critical role during formative years, having a radiant smile can positively impact their social experiences and overall emotional well-being.

Early Treatment for Healthy Teeth
Whether you’re concerned about the health or appearance of your child’s teeth, we’re here to assist. We welcome you to book a consultation by calling (732) 795-6096. During this initial examination, we’ll identify any issues your child might be facing with their teeth and bite alignment.
From there, we’ll provide recommendations on the best corrective measures. As specialists in children’s orthodontics, we offer a variety of treatment options, and might suggest starting with an expander rather than diving directly into braces.
Depending on your child’s age, this can serve as a favorable preliminary solution. Parents from all over the local area appreciate that we can commence treatments even before all of their child’s permanent teeth have emerged. Dr. Young will assess if your child is eligible for braces. If not, Dr. Young will advise on the optimal timing for braces in the future.
