Braces and Orthodontics In San Antonio, TX

We are proud to offer orthodontics and a board certified pediatric orthodontist at our San Antonio, TX pediatric dentist office to children of all ages. We are committed to providing specialized dental care and preventative dentistry for infants to teens. As your child grows, we know it is important to monitor the growth and development of your child’s smile and evaluate the need for braces.

Schedule Appointment

At each appointment, we will evaluate your child’s face, teeth, and bite to ensure proper growth. Early detection of bite problems can help prevent speech impediments, and aid chewing and digestion. Some oral problems are easy to correct at young age, which can reduce more severe problems down the road.

In addition to regular orthodontic evaluation, we can also provide comprehensive orthodontic treatment such as metal braces or Invisalign clear braces. Regular checkups will help us to identify the perfect time to begin treatment for your child.

Orthodontic Evaluation

An orthodontic evaluation allows Dr. Bianca Frederick, our board certified pediatric orthodontist, to assess your child’s oral development. During the evaluation, Dr. Frederick will inspect your child’s teeth and gums, as well as the bones and muscles in your child’s mouth. An orthodontic evaluation will give you the ability to plan ahead for your child’s future dental needs.

Caring for your child's smile after orthodontic treatment is a vital part of making sure their teeth don’t move after their orthodontic treatment has been completed.
