Your Teen’s Path to a Healthier, Confident Smile

Airway-Focused Orthodontics, Palate Expansion & Invisalign®

Why the Teen Years

Are the Perfect Time

During your teen years, your face and jaw are still growing.


That means it’s the ideal time for palate expansion and airway-focused care.

With early treatment, we can help your teen:

  • Breathe better

  • Sleep more deeply

  • Smile with confidence
