Orthodontics for All Ages
Orthodontics is important at every age, offering long-lasting benefits from childhood through adulthood. Dr. Emerick ensures personalized care for patients of all ages.
Orthodontics for Children
For parents considering orthodontics for their child, starting treatment early offers several advantages. Early orthodontic care helps address and correct potential dental issues before they become more severe. It’s an opportunity to guide jaw development, ensuring enough room for permanent teeth to grow in properly. This can reduce the need for more complex treatment later in life. Early intervention may also correct habits like thumb-sucking or mouth breathing, which can affect oral health. At Emerick Orthodontics, we work closely with parents to create a comfortable and supportive environment for children, ensuring a smooth orthodontic journey from the very start.
Orthodontics for Teens
For parents of teens, orthodontic care often comes amidst a busy schedule filled with school, sports, and extracurricular activities. At Emerick Orthodontics, we understand the need for flexible treatment options that fit into a teenager's active lifestyle. Teens can choose between traditional metal braces, clear braces, or even Invisalign, depending on their personal preferences and orthodontic needs. We also focus on making orthodontic care a positive experience, with regular checkups and adjustments that keep treatment on track without interrupting their daily routine. We provide comprehensive support, helping your teen achieve a confident smile while maintaining their busy lives.
Orthodontics for Adults
For adults seeking orthodontic care, it’s never too late to achieve the smile you deserve. In fact, about 20% of today’s orthodontic patients are adults. Whether you want to correct long-standing issues or simply improve your smile, modern treatment options make orthodontic care more convenient and discreet than ever. At Emerick Orthodontics, we offer clear braces and clear aligners, allowing adults to straighten their teeth without the look of traditional metal braces. Orthodontic treatment can boost confidence, improve oral health, and provide long-term benefits. We work closely with adult patients to ensure personalized care and results that last a lifetime.
