At White Smiles Orthodontics, we’ve been cooking up something fun behind the scenes—custom baskets filled with local apples, gourmet caramel, and a little engraved touch from Dr. White himself. ✨

Whether you received a basket this round or not, we’re always thinking of all our amazing families, patients, and friends in the community. Our goal is to make everyone feel the warmth and joy we pour into everything we do—from smiles to small surprises. 🤍

Thanks for being part of the White Smiles story. More to come!

Common signs that may indicate a child needs orthodontic evaluation:
-Early or late loss of baby teeth: Losing baby teeth too early or too late can affect the alignment of permanent teeth.
-Crowded or misaligned teeth: If teeth appear crowded, overlapping, or are not in a straight line, it could indicate a jaw size issue.
-Bite issues: Overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites can all cause problems with chewing, speaking, and jaw function.
-Mouth breathing or snoring: These can be signs of airway obstruction, impacting jaw development and sleep.
-Thumb-sucking or pacifier use beyond infancy: Prolonged habits can affect jaw and teeth alignment.
-Difficulty chewing or speaking: Problems with chewing or pronouncing certain sounds can be related to jaw or teeth alignment.
-Teeth that don’t meet or meet abnormally: This can affect how the teeth come together when the jaw is closed.
-Unbalanced facial appearance: Jaw misalignment can affect the overall facial balance.
-Grinding or clenching of teeth: These habits can put stress on the teeth and jaw joints.
-Missing or impacted teeth: Orthodontists can assess the presence and position of all teeth.
-Shifting of the jaw when closing: This could indicate a jaw joint issue or misalignment.
