Did you know there’s a science to smiling?
Smiling triggers a cascade of chemical reactions in the brain, releasing dopamine, endorphins, and serotonin (the feel-good drugs that are natural pain relievers and mood lifters.) Go ahead, give it a try right now! And smiling is contagious, seeing someone smile activates the mirror neurons in our brains prompting us to mirror the expression Smiling influences perceptions of others and is associated with attributes like attractiveness, reliability, and relaxation, enhancing social connections It’s your superpower when you use it!

growth & guidance program
Our Growth & Guidance program is specially designed to monitor the dental development of young patients. This proactive approach ensures that any potential orthodontic issues are identified and managed early, setting the foundation for a healthy, beautiful smile.
key considerations for young patients
Patient is Age 7
Ideal age for initial orthodontic evaluation.
Crowding
Teeth may overlap due to insufficient space.
Crossbite
Upper teeth fit inside the lower teeth when biting.
Open Bite
Front teeth do not touch when biting down.
Deep Bite
Upper front teeth excessively overlap the lower front teeth.
Protrusion
Front teeth stick out.
Underbite
Lower teeth extend past the upper teeth.
Spacing
Gaps between teeth.
Sucking Thumb/Fingers
Can affect dental alignment and bite.
