Early evaluations = fewer problems later

The American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) recommends that all children between the ages of 7 and 8 have an initial orthodontic screening. Early assessment helps identify and correct potential issues while kids jaws are still developing, and adult teeth are coming in. An Orthodontist is looking for different things than your pediatric dentist. As permanent teeth come in, bite or jaw issues often get worse-not better. You should check in with an Orthodontist around the time the Tooth Fairy is visiting on a regular basis!

Let us help you determine the right treatment at the right age! That's why we make these early-care checks FREE to ensure your child's smile grows as beautifully as they do!

Benefits of early care:

    • Monitor space as larger teeth come in
    • Track jaw and bite development
    • Prevent future alignment issues
    • Support for parents every step of the way
    • Improved self-esteem at an earlier age
    • X-Rays of whole mouth - sometimes, at this age, issues aren't visible

Fill out this form to find out more about the Growth Guidance Program and you'll hear from a member of our team to make sure your child gets timely care.

NO DENTIST REFERRAL NEEDED!

What Makes WOW Smiles Different

My daughter and I were made to feel so at ease, and very well informed/educated, on all levels, from day one. The staff at WOW! is amazing as well and very kind. Thank you WOW! for treating us so well and thank you for making this possible. If it was not for your affordable payment plan, I may not have been able to do this for my child. You all are fantastic!

JAYMI L.

My son loved his visit, and left with a smile as they wished him a happy birthday and fun travels.

KRYSTEN T.

WOW! Smiles lives up to its name! I was in WOW with this place, the people here are very kind and friendly. My 8 y/o was scared to come in. After some time with the staff she felt comfortable and opened up immediately. We look forward to coming here for my daughters treatment.

DAYNA P.

WOW smiles has been nothing short of efficient, effective; making it a much enjoyable experience for my 10 year old. They explain everything clearly, they have affordable monthly payments, and you just feel like you are in the right hands. May they keep helping children and adults feel beautiful, comfortable and confident.

When Dr. Bernstein had braces as a kid, they were painful and uncomfortable. That experience inspired him to reinvent early orthodontic treatment. Enter the Berni-Tube Phase 1 Orthodontic System—a modern, kid-friendly approach that gently creates space for growing teeth without extractions or fixed expanders. It’s more comfortable, more efficient, and used exclusively by our team at WOW! Smiles. Because our patients deserve more than outdated methods—they deserve the best!

EARLY TREATMENT PROCESS

Kid’s Growth Guidance Program

Get started with this program to help track your child’s jaw growth and bite development over time. Joining this program means your child will come for free visits, where we may take orthodontic records and X-rays. The Doctor will help you determine the best time to start treatment, if needed, saving you time and money.

When younger children need early interceptive treatment, we separate orthodontic treatment into two phases, with each stage beginning at the appropriate time.

Phase 1
Phase 1 typically starts when kids are 7-10 years old. The goal of this phase is to create expansion and make room in the mouth and jaw for new teeth to come in. Phase 1 can take anywhere from 12-18 months. As kids teeth grow in it’s a lot like trying to fit a SUV into a compact parking spot! Phase 1 treatment gives that “SUV” a larger space to fit into!

Phase 2
After a resting period to let your child’s teeth grow in completely, Phase 2 can begin, if needed. Phase 2 treatments usually start between age 12-14 years. The treatment takes up to 18 months to complete.

The Benefits of Starting Treatment Early include:

    • Less need to pull teeth
    • Less time in full braces
    • Improved self-image
    • Less need for jaw surgery
    • Broader, fuller smile
    • Improved function
    • Improved nasal airway
