Orthodontics for Children
Healthy Habits Start Early
The American Association of Orthodontists and Dr. Nathan Hoffman recommend that children in Mooresville come in for their first orthodontic evaluation by age seven. Don’t worry; that doesn’t mean braces are going on right away!
This early visit simply allows Dr. Hoffman to check your child’s teeth and jaw development. Most of the time, we’ll just monitor their growth through quick, easy check-ins over the years.
If Dr. Hoffman spots early signs of concern, starting treatment while your child is still growing can help guide jaw development and avoid more complex issues. It’s a gentle, proactive approach that parents can feel good about
What Early Treatment Can Help Fix
So, what signs should you be watching for? If your child is showing any of the following issues, scheduling an early orthodontic visit with Dr. Hoffman is a good idea.
Catching these problems early can make treatment easier and help avoid more complex issues.
Protruding Front Teeth
If your child had a thumb-sucking habit or pushed their tongue against their front teeth for too long, the upper teeth may start to stick out. This can increase the risk of injury and affect how their bite develops.
Early treatment can gently guide those front teeth into a healthier position.
Underbites & Overbites
An underbite happens when the lower jaw extends past the upper jaw. An overbite is the opposite—when the upper jaw sticks out too far.
Both can affect chewing, speaking, and your child’s confidence. Early care can help balance jaw growth and create a healthier bite.
Crowding or Spacing Issues
Teeth that are too close or far apart can indicate that your child’s dental development needs some guidance.
Whether it’s due to early tooth loss or a delay in baby teeth falling out, Dr. Hoffman can assess spacing and step in to keep things on track.
Crossbites
A crossbite occurs when the jaw shifts to one side, causing the top and bottom teeth to misalign.
Left untreated, this can lead to uneven jaw growth, gum problems, and excessive wear on the teeth.
Orthodontics for Teens
Confidence That Grows With Every Smile
The teen years are a key time for orthodontic treatment, and we’re here to ensure your teen feels supported every step.
Whether starting treatment for the first time or moving into Phase 2, Dr. Hoffman and the team at Hoffman Orthodontics will guide your teen with care, encouragement, and a custom plan that fits their needs. Our goal? A confident smile that lasts long after graduation.
Treatments Made for Teens
Every teen has their personality and path to a confident smile. At Hoffman Orthodontics, we customize treatments to fit your teen’s lifestyle, goals, and schedule.
Most treatments last between 14 and 24 months, but thanks to our advanced technology, we can reduce treatment time without sacrificing results.
Dr. Hoffman will walk you and your teen through all the options, ensuring they feel confident, informed, and excited about what’s next—whether in class, on stage, or at practice.
Invisalign
Invisalign is a great choice for teens who want a low-key treatment that doesn’t take over their look—or their lives.
These clear aligners are custom-designed to fit your teen’s smile, including special features like tabs for growing molars and blue wear indicators to help them stay on track.
They’re easy to remove for meals, sports, and selfies—and we even send extras in case one goes missing. It’s a flexible, discreet option that keeps treatment moving while your teen keeps being a teen.
Custom Braces
Custom braces are made just for your teen—no one-size-fits-all here.
We take a fast, painless digital scan of their teeth, and our software helps Dr. Hoffman select the ideal bracket for every tooth. Then, we use 3D-printed trays to place each bracket exactly where it needs to go.
That means fewer appointments, less discomfort, and faster results. It’s efficient, effective, and built to give your teen a smile they’ll love.
