Our team at Wildey Pediatric Dentistry believes in a highly personalized approach to orthodontic care for children, teens, and adults. With fun visits and specialized care, we craft beautifully straight smiles for optimal oral health.
A beautiful smile boosts confidence, enhances self-esteem, and transforms your overall appearance. When people feel great about their smile, they naturally want to share it more often.
Orthodontically corrected teeth lead to better lifelong oral health. They are easier to clean and less prone to chipping and decay, while also reducing the chance of gingivitis and gum disease.
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a check-up with an orthodontic specialist no later than age 7. Interceptive orthodontic treatment around this time can help direct proper tooth positioning and/or jaw growth, eliminating or simplifying the need for later treatment. Early orthodontic evaluation will allow us to treat any underlying issues early and prevent any others from occurring. We want to give your child their best opportunity for a healthy, beautiful smile.
Early orthodontic treatment can help prevent bigger issues down the road by addressing problems like crowding before they worsen. By creating space for incoming permanent teeth, early treatment reduces the likelihood of needing extractions later. Expansion at an early age not only improves tooth alignment but can also support better airway health—encouraging nasal breathing, reducing mouth breathing, and even helping to minimize snoring or signs of sleep-disordered breathing.
An orthodontic consultation at our San Antonio or Kerrville, TX location is free, friendly, and informative. During this visit, we’ll evaluate your child’s bite and overall dental development. Their smile may be progressing just fine, we may recommend keeping an eye on a few things over time, or we might suggest early treatment to help guide proper growth and prevent future issues. Either way, you’ll leave with clear answers, expert recommendations, and peace of mind about your child’s smile.
Early treatment gives our team at Wildey Pediatric Dentistry the opportunity to:
Imagine a stunning, perfectly aligned smile without the restrictions of traditional braces and wires. Because the aligners are removable, you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment. Plus, brushing and flossing are much easier. That’s what makes clear aligner treatment with the Wildey Pediatric Dentistry Team one of our most popular treatment options.
Our clear aligners allow you to straighten your teeth without the obvious appearance of metal braces.
Because the aligners are removable, you may engage in activities that traditional wire braces may restrict.
No special brushing needed. Simply remove the aligners, perform your regular oral hygiene tasks, and put the aligners back in place.
One of the best things about clear aligners? You can enjoy all your favorite foods and drinks—just take them out when it's time to eat.
With clear aligners, each aligner is custom designed to fit precisely over the teeth as it puts gentle pressure on the teeth to move them into place. There are no wires and brackets that may cause bleeding and discomfort.
Clear aligners often mean shorter treatment times and fewer in-office visits — making it easier to fit orthodontic care into your busy schedule.
The Wildey Pediatric Dentistry Team offers conventional orthodontic treatment involving traditional braces for children, teens, and adults. This provides the most comprehensive approach to treating more complex issues ranging from crooked teeth to jaw and bite concerns. Braces improve not just the aesthetics but the health of your teeth.
Braces are highly effective for complex orthodontic issues like severe misalignments and bite problems.
Traditional braces offer a predictable and beautiful outcome.
In some cases, braces can lead to shorter treatment times than clear aligners.
Traditional braces are sturdy and resistant to damage during treatment.
Since braces are fixed to your teeth, there’s no risk of forgetting to wear them, which can be a concern with clear aligners.
