Think brushing twice a day is enough? Not always. Even patients with excellent brushing and flossing habits can develop plaque and tartar buildup over time. Once tartar hardens on your teeth, it can't be removed with a toothbrush alone.

Most parents think orthodontics starts when braces are needed. In reality, many orthodontic concerns can be identified years earlier. Issues such as crowding, crossbites, jaw asymmetry, mouth breathing, and bite development often become visible by age six or seven, and sometimes much earlier.

Has your child been mouth breathing, snoring at night, or sucking their thumb past age two? These habits may be early signs that jaw development and tooth alignment need attention.
