At Timber Kids Dentistry & Orthodontics, we offer expert orthodontic treatment in Bend for kids of all ages. Orthodontics is not just a cosmetic treatment. In many cases, braces or other orthodontic devices can drastically improve your child's quality of life by helping them eat better, improving their speech, and giving them an overall level of comfort. If you think that your little one may have oral development issues or your teen could benefit from orthodontic intervention, we are here to help. Contact us today to schedule your orthodontic consultation in Bend today.

This is often one of the first warning signs that your child has oral development issues. The first baby teeth fall out around the age of 6, and they should continue to fall out and be replaced with adult teeth until the age of 12-13. If your dentist has noticed irregularities in your child’s baby tooth loss, they may need orthodontic treatment.
If your child seems to have a lot of trouble chewing, biting, and swallowing properly, this could indicate oral development problems and bite issues. Pain and discomfort when chewing and biting are also causes for concern.
If you can see that your child has cramped, crowded teeth, misaligned teeth, or crooked teeth, they will likely need orthodontic treatment to improve their smile and ensure their bite is healthy.
Invisalign is an alternative to braces for teenagers and young adults. Instead of using brackets, wires, and elastics to move the teeth, Invisalign uses clear plastic “aligners,” that look similar to a night guard or a retainer.
By switching through a series of Invisalign aligners, your child’s teeth can be moved into the proper position, just like braces. And, unlike braces, Invisalign is invisible when worn. It also is removable, so your teen can eat their normal diet and remove their aligners to brush and floss.
However, Invisalign may not be right for all patients. To find out if Invisalign is a good option for your teen, contact Timber Kids Dentistry & Orthodontics to schedule an appointment at our Bend office.
