Pediatric Dentistry
As kids grow, their dental needs evolve — so our approach grows with them. From cavity prevention to orthodontic guidance, we help your child build confidence in their smile while supporting proper jaw and airway development. Our goal is to make dental visits positive, educational, and encouraging at every stage.

The Advanced Lightwire Functional (ALF) appliance is a unique, non-traditional orthodontic treatment that focuses on addressing the root causes of dental and facial issues, rather than just straightening teeth. By working with the body's natural physiological processes, the ALF aims to improve not only your smile but also your breathing, posture, and overall well-being. Click here to learn more.

Myofunctional therapy, or orofacial myofunctional therapy (OMT), is a program of exercises designed to retrain the muscles of the mouth, face, and throat to function correctly. This neuromuscular re-education addresses issues with breathing, chewing, swallowing, and speech that stem from abnormal muscle patterns (orofacial myofunctional disorders, or OMDs).

Traditional braces remain a reliable and effective way to align teeth and improve bite function. We create customized plans that support healthy alignment and long-term results.

A rapid palatal expander, often simply called an expander, is a custom-fitted device made of metal and plastic that fits over several upper back teeth. The appliance uses gentle, continuous pressure to separate the two halves of the upper jaw. In children and adolescents, the upper jaw is made of two separate bones, or palatine sutures, that haven't yet fused. An RPE works by slowly pushing these bones apart. Click here to learn more.
