Does My 8 Year Old Really Need Braces?

Kat Dela C.

Leland Orthodontists was highly recommended to me and I understand why! They were fantastic with my son. I was initially very scared of the treatment he needed, but the whole staff was very professional, kind, and made my son feel safe and comfortable during every visit. They were able to answer any questions I had about his treatment plan; He needed to get expanders, Mara (to pull his bottom jaw forward - his top teeth completely covered his bottom teeth when he smiled) and braces (phase 1). My son has an award winning smile now and he loves it. Dr. Leland is great with all his patients - from what I observed in his office - and has great bedside manner, especially with kids. The office is beautiful, every staff member we have encountered has been professional, very helpful, and great with kids, their office is ran efficiently and made the whole experience easy. I highly recommend this family business!

Photos: The mold of his bottom teeth on the left was his before and the right is after phase one. You can see how the expander made his mouth wide enough so his teeth can grow in straight.
