Orthodontics in Irvine CA | Little Smiles of Orange County

Orthodontic Care for Growing Smiles

Unlike most traditional dentists, Little Smiles of Orange County provides orthodontic services specifically for young patients. Orthodontic treatment can help improve tooth alignment, bite function, and the appearance of your child's smile.

Every child is different, which is why our team takes a personalized approach to evaluating growth, development, and treatment needs.

When Orthodontics Can Help

Orthodontics can correct bite problems, guide developing smiles, and help children achieve healthier long-term oral function.

Crowded Teeth

Creates space for teeth to come in properly and makes brushing and flossing easier.

Bite Problems

Helps correct overbites, underbites, crossbites, and other alignment concerns.

Jaw Development

Supports healthy growth and alignment while your child's facial bones are still developing.

Early Evaluation

Children should be evaluated for orthodontics around age seven to catch concerns early.

Your Child's Orthodontic Evaluation

The first step is a thorough evaluation, digital imaging, and a conversation about your child's needs and your goals.

What to Expect

Our team will examine your child's teeth, gums, bite, and jaw development. Digital X-rays or panoramic imaging may be used to see the full picture and help us recommend the right treatment plan.
