When it comes to their kids’ smile, every parent has this one thing they want above all else for their little ones, to know they’re doing what’s best for them. They want that person caring for their kid to get on with the kid, make them feel safe and secure, and get their treatments off on the right foot. Those are not minor things, and we think about them every single day. At Specialty Smiles, we all take the care of younger patients with the utmost seriousness and genuine affection. Our treatments for Sleep Apnea help improve breathing during sleep, enhancing overall health and energy. Customized oral appliances offer a comfortable, non-surgical way to reduce snoring and interrupted sleep.
When it comes down to orthodontic care, kids aren’t just smaller versions of adults. Because their teeth and jaws keep on growing and changing, their treatment needs to be tailored to where they are right now in terms of development and where they are headed. That kind of forward thinking is what sets pediatric orthodontic care apart. We keep it front of mind for every evaluation and treatment plan we make for our younger patients. We don’t just look at what’s going on at the moment, we consider the whole picture, and the whole journey that comes with it. Professional Teeth Whitening brightens your smile safely and effectively for a radiant, confident appearance. Our treatments remove deep stains and restore your teeth’s natural brilliance in just one visit.
As a pediatric orthodontist in Miramar, we see a lot of kids at different stages of their growth. A lot of dentists would say that kids should get their first orthodontic check-up when they’re about 7 years old. At that point we might catch a glimpse of how the permanent teeth are coming in, if the jaw is growing properly, and if there’s anything we can do early on to help smooth out the path to future treatment. It’s not the case for every child, of course, that they need treatment right away, but getting that information early really is helpful for making the right plans.
We also know it can be pretty scary for a kid to step into an orthodontist’s office for the first time. Our team does everything we can to make sure that feeling doesn’t stick around. From the way we greet the kids when they come in to how we explain what we’re doing every step of the way, we put their comfort at the top of the list. We want our patients to feel good about their appointments, because a good experience early on really does stay with them as they get older.
We make sure to keep parents very involved at Specialty Smiles from start to finish. After every visit, we take the time to go over what we saw, what we plan to do next, and what they can expect in the future. We know that when parents are well-informed and feel like they can trust us, that they and their kid are in good hands, their kid is more likely to feel safe and comfortable. We genuinely cherish the bond that forms between our families and our staff.
We have a real connection to the Miramar community, and the families who bring their kids here for care are the lifeblood of what we do here.
