Two great reasons to see an orthodontist starting at age 7! The top photo shows a teen who had no idea their canine tooth was stuck. It took oral surgery and braces to bring it in—treatment was longer and more complex, but they finished with an amazing, healthy smile. The bottom photo shows an 8-year-old referred early by their dentist. With expansion and limited braces, we can guide growth and make space for teeth before problems get bigger later. Early checkups mean easier, faster, and often less costly treatment. No referral needed—come in for a free visit with Dr. Hobson and see what we can do for your smile!

When we first met this amazing patient, they were experiencing significant crowding, with canines erupting out of place and a narrow upper arch. Dr. Hobson created a custom treatment plan that included full braces and palatal expander to create the space needed for a healthy, functional, and beautiful smile.

Highlights of this treatment plan are:
✅ Class I bite
✅ Perfectly aligned canines
✅ Ideal overbite and overjet
✅ Midlines centered
✅ Wider, more balanced arch form
✅ Confident smile—and better sleep, too!

After 28 months of teamwork and dedication, the results speak for themselves. This smile isn’t just straighter—it’s stronger, healthier, and built to last.

There are great reasons to see an orthodontist at age 7. Here are a few:

Starting orthodontic care early means fewer surprises later—like teeth trying to play musical chairs! Early ortho treatment helps to guide growing teeth.

AND early treatment = less time dodging popcorn in the future!

We'd love to see your kiddo too!
