THE PROBLEM - KIDS
We like to see children at an early age so we can screen for proper facial growth & assess oral posture. Our goal is overall wellness and, with kids, that means developing a relationship of trust with them as early as possible. We like to see kids as young as age 4.
One of the things that sets us apart is our commitment to helping children avoid invasive and /or traumatic treatments & procedures.

I have partnered with colleagues from around the world to learn how to help children achieve proper facial growth. Dr. John Mew pioneered facial growth guidance in the 1950's. William M. Hang DDS MSD is a pioneer in non-retractive orthodontics for children and adults.
Our goal is to always recommend treatment. That will help patients to become their best. Not just a better smile, but a better you.
This can lead to sleep disturbances in children. It's often an invisible problem that presents itself in frustrating ways:
We have several treatment options for children.
Children who have poor oral posture and jaws that grow down and back in the face often breath primarily through their mouths.
Orthodontics Can Help Children Sleep Better at Night, Perform Better During The Day & Feel Better Mentally & Physically.
The orthodontic techniques I use can create healthier jaw joints, larger airways & broad smiles that are complete to the corners of the mouth. That often helps children breathe better sleep more soundly and live healthier, happier lives.
OUR SOLUTION
Pediatric Orthotropics ®
A well developed face and jaws that grow forward in the face can positively impact breathing, sleep and overall childhood development.

More about Invisalign.
Invisalign
The ALF system is the most holistic that we offer. The appliance uses gentle forces that are very easy to get used to for people who might be a bit more sensitive to discomfort.
The Crozat is smaller than traditional expanders. When patients wear it consistently and as suggested, it can give a nice result with minimal discomfort.
Proper Rest Oral Posture is critical for healthy facial growth and healthy airway development. GoPex Training can help kids achieve better oral posture. GoPex is 100% holistic and helps with posture, function & growth.
We started using Invisalign clear aligners in 1990 and became a Premier Provider in 2016. Invisalign trays are a great way for some patients to achieve a terrific smile!

How We Prevent Crooked Teeth:
We start treatment with a holistic approach to promote nasal breathing, mature swallow, and proper face and body posture. Chronic mouth breathing causes unfiltered and non humidified air to hit the tonsils causing swelling of the tonsils and adenoids.


Also…
We review foods and nutrition and go over good oral resting posture exercises.
With open mouth posture the face will grow in the wrong direction downward and back leading to crooked teeth, poor airway and unattractive face.

If we notice the form of the face is not developing ideally, we can start early treatment.
Our goal at this stage is to have nickel spacing between all the baby teeth and proper oral resting posture and mature swallow. This will allow good space the permanent teeth to grow and erupt ages.

Braces and Clear Aligners for a better smile.
We use the most comfortable, light biological forces for healthy tooth movement. Non-extraction treatment.
We want our customers to feel welcome in our office. We encourage all parents/caregivers to accompany the child to the appointment as direct involvement of parents with pediatric patients is the best dynamic for success.
I have years of experience, but I never stop learning. Airway orthodontics and "forwardontics" are my passion, which will be evident at every appointment.
I proudly perform 90% of all direct patient care in my practice – unlike many other offices that delegate most work to dental assistants. This is how I create a long-term bond with my patients, for which I am truly grateful.
