At Sugarbug Orthodontics, we know that getting braces or Invisalign Teen® is not just about straightening teeth—it is about building confidence, boosting oral health and rocking a smile that lasts a lifetime. Whether your child is just starting their journey with Phase 1 Orthodontics, getting fitted for braces or the clear, comfortable option of Invisalign Teen®, we have the expertise (and the fun vibes) to make the process exciting. Check out what makes each of these treatments awesome!
Phase 1 Orthodontics: Early Action for a Winning Smile
Did you know your child’s smile starts developing long before all their adult teeth come in? That is where Phase 1 Orthodontics (Interceptive Ortho) comes in!
What is it? This treatment is for kids ages six to ten who have a mix of baby and adult teeth. It helps guide jaw growth, prevent bigger issues later and even make future braces time shorter!
Why does it matter? If your child has crowding, a misaligned bite or habits like thumb-sucking, early intervention can keep things on track before they become a bigger problem.
Think of it like setting up the perfect foundation for a house—you want everything in the right place before adding the final touches!
Braces: The Classic Path to a Confident Smile
Braces are cooler than ever (yes, really!). Today’s braces are smaller, sleeker and come with fun colors to match your child’s personality. Whether you go for traditional metal braces or clear ceramic ones, our Sugarbug Orthodontics team makes the journey smooth and stress-free.
Perks of braces:
- Super effective for all kinds of bite issues.
- Customizable with colored bands.
- Works around the clock—no need to remember to take them out!
And please do not worry—we have tips and tricks to make braces life easier, from avoiding sticky snacks to using cool orthodontic wax for comfort.
