Orthodontics for Children in Saratoga CA

Dr. Nejat offers orthodontic consultations for children ages 7 and up. Parents are advised to bring their children to an orthodontist for a consult in order to rectify and correct dental abnormalities. Children may have altered growth of their teeth and jawbones leading to crossbites, misalignments, and over-crowding of the teeth.

Jawbone Corrections

Promote accurate growth of the jawbone, aiding the proper development of permanent teeth. This treatment helps prevent issues like crossbites and ensures a balanced facial structure.

Teeth Alignment

Creates space to prevent crowding and ensures proper alignment of the upper and lower arches. This reduces the risk of protruded teeth and enhances overall dental health.

Facial Appearance

Corrects crossbites that can lead to asymmetrical facial growth. Early treatment supports a balanced facial structure, enhancing your child's appearance and confidence.

Avoid Extractions

Prevents dental cavities and reduces the likelihood of future tooth extractions. Early care ensures healthier teeth and gums, minimizing invasive procedures later on.
