Creating Confident Smiles

At Moffett & Walley Orthodontics, we believe you have the right to a confident smile no matter your age. With Dr. Moffett, Dr. Walley, and a variety of treatment options on your side, we make that possible.

Early orthodontic treatment may prevent or intercept more serious problems from developing and may make treatment at a later age shorter and less complicated. Our Moffett & Walley Orthodontics team recommends children visit the orthodontist at age seven for the best smile results.

Choosing the Best Time for Treatment

While the age that kids get braces may vary, orthodontic treatment at our Clinton and Madison offices usually begins between the ages of 9 and 14. Some orthodontic problems are easier to correct if they’re treated early.

If Dr. Moffett or Dr. Walley thinks your child will need treatment, they’ll let you know when it will be best to begin treatment.

Here are a few signs you might need to bring them in for treatment:

  • Early or late loss of baby teeth
  • Difficulty chewing or biting
  • Breathing through the mouth
  • Thumb-sucking
  • Crowded, misplaced or blocked-out teeth
  • Jaws that are too far forward or back
  • Biting the cheek or biting into the roof of the mouth
  • Protruding teeth
  • Upper and lower teeth that don't meet, or meet in an abnormal way
  • An unbalanced facial appearance
  • Grinding or clenching of the teeth

Invest in Your Teen

The teen years — between the ages of 12 and 16 — are the most common time for orthodontic treatment with Moffett & Walley Orthodontics because most of yours or your child’s permanent teeth will be in place.

Luckily, some new solutions work to make the treatment process much easier than ever before for our patients in Clinton and Madison.

Why Choose Orthodontics for Teens

There's no set timetable for every kid, but generally by the age of 11-13 the deciduous (baby) teeth have all been lost, and the permanent ones have largely come in.

This is the time when the team at Moffett & Walley Orthodontics can go to work correcting the problems that cause a bad bite (malocclusion), improper tooth spacing, or poor alignment.
