Orthodontics For Children
BRACES CAN BE FUN
Though we can enhance a smile at any age, kids who are still growing have a significant advantage. Beginning treatment at this optimal time ensures the greatest result and the least amount of time and expense. We recommend bringing your child for their first evaluation at age 7. At that age, we can advise of any functional orthodontic problem and when the appropriate timing for treatment is indicated (or not). We aren’t particularly concerned if the teeth are just crooked at an early age (when your child still has many baby teeth left and a few adult teeth in place) unless the crooked teeth are causing social issues for the child.
If early, interception treatment is recommended, we’ll make sure you understand all of the issues so you can make the right decision for your child. We’re not here to sell you anything. We just want to make sure you have the information you need to take great care of your kids.

FELLER KIDS CLUB
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends having your child’s first orthodontic exam around the age of 7. We agree! But we also know that many kids aren’t ready for treatment at that age so we offer free growth and guidance appointments every year from their first appointment until they’re ready to get started. Plus, we teach them that going to “the doctor” can actually be fun, setting them up for a lifetime of great dental health habits.
