We truly believe that patients of all ages should be able to get quality orthodontic care resulting in a beautifully-aligned smile. We’re proud to offer a full range of orthodontics for children, teens and adults. Whether you’re exploring options for your child or finally prioritizing your own smile, we’re here to guide you every step of the way!
Orthodontics for Children
While there’s no minimum age for children to begin orthodontic treatment, the American Association of Orthodontists recommends a child receive their first orthodontic evaluation by around the age of seven. By this time, most children will have a mix of baby teeth and permanent teeth, making it easier for orthodontists like Dr. Kaplan to diagnose and correct tooth and jaw problems before they have the chance to become more severe.
Early growth monitoring or Phase I treatment with Kaplan Orthodontics will allow us to:
- Correct and guide the growth of your child's jaw
- Regulate the width of the upper and lower arches
- Create more space for crowded teeth
- Help avoid the need for permanent tooth extractions later in life
- Correct bad habits like thumb sucking
- Help improve minor speech problems
Learn more about Phase I treatment here.
Orthodontics for Teens
If you have a teen who recently learned that orthodontic care can improve their smile, you’re likely to have lots of questions, and you may be feeling nervous or worried when you think about beginning the process.
There’s absolutely no need to worry! Bulky, uncomfortable metal braces are a thing of the past. Today’s metal braces are smaller, sleeker, and far more comfortable than ever before. We also offer options like Invisalign® Treatment that are super discreet.
One of the biggest questions on your teen’s mind is often, “How long will I have to wear these?” We’ll give you a clear estimate based on a few key factors during your free exam!
Orthodontics for Adults
Orthodontic treatment isn’t just for children and teens! In fact, one in every five orthodontic patients is over the age of 21. Many adults are choosing to receive treatment later in life because they understand the importance of maintaining their oral health, they want to feel better about their overall appearance, or both. We welcome adults who are looking for a beautiful, healthy smile! If you’ve experienced any of the following issues, orthodontic treatment may be for you:
- A bad bite (malocclusion) causing your teeth to fit together incorrectly
- The teeth are too crowded or spaced too far apart
- Any abnormal jaw pain or pressure that is caused by crooked teeth
- Or simply a desire for a healthier mouth and a more confident smile
The Big Picture: Why Straightening Your Smile Matters
No matter your age, the benefits of treatment are huge — and we’re not just talking about looks!
- Straight Teeth Are Healthy Teeth: When your teeth are properly aligned, it’s easier to keep them clean with flossing and brushing, which in turn helps to prevent other oral issues.
- A Healthy, Straight Smile Builds Confidence: Successfully completed orthodontic treatment can help boost your self-confidence, give you a better quality of life, and allow you to smile freely — maybe for the first time ever!
- Preventing Future Issues: Delaying or refusing orthodontic treatment when it's needed can create long-term health issues that will wind up costing you more in the end.
Kaplan Orthodontics Reviews
Best orthodontist, hands down! Staff is amazing as well. We are very grateful for Dr Kaplan and all the hard work that he and his staff do. They are an amazing team!
We’re extremely satisfied with Dr. Kaplan and highly recommend his practice to anyone and everyone! 2 of my sons have been in his care (one already in treatment, one still being monitored until he grows a bit more before determining the necessary treatment). Dr. Kaplan and his staff are always very patient in explaining the treatment recommendations, and takes the time to answer our questions.
Dear Dr. Jason Kaplan, Leanne, and the entire Kaplan Orthodontics Team,A simple “thank you” does not seem nearly enough to express how grateful I am for the care you have given my daughter, Abigail.Abigail is 15 and already a very independent young lady, but watching her gain even more confidence because of her beautiful new smile has been incredibly meaningful to me as her mother. The transformation is so much more than straight teeth. It is seeing your child smile more freely, carry herself with greater confidence, and feel even better about who she is. As a parent who wants the very best for her children, it is difficult to put into words what that means.Dr. Jason Kaplan and Leanne, you are a remarkable team. What makes your practice so special is not simply your professionalism, talent, and expertise—although all of those are exceptional. It is the combination of excellence and genuine goodness. You are incredibly skilled at what you do, but you also truly care about the children and families who walk through your doors.That heart can be seen in all the little things. The toys, souvenirs, and rewards that celebrate accomplishments along the way may seem small, but they are not. They recognize that no matter how old or independent our children become, they are still our children. You understand how encouragement, recognition, and a little fun can motivate them to do the things that help achieve the best results. Those thoughtful details demonstrate that you have put your heart into your practice.Your entire team is exceptional, and the atmosphere you have created is warm, welcoming, and positive. Even my husband willingly volunteers to take Abigail to her appointments—and I suspect the phenomenal coffee he gets to enjoy in the lobby while waiting for our precious girl may have something to do with it!In our fast-paced world, where it is so easy to simply go through the motions, it is inspiring to encounter people like Dr. Jason and Leanne who do so much more than just run a successful practice. Through your talent, kindness, thoughtfulness, and the way you treat people every day, you are creating something that makes the world a little better.Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Abigail. Thank you for giving her a beautiful smile, but even more importantly, thank you for contributing to the confidence behind that smile.As a mother, I could not ask for more.With heartfelt gratitude and appreciation,Rasa TeytelA very grateful mom
Dr Kaplan and team care about quality work - 100% recommend
The staff and Dr. Kaplan are very friendly and honest. Dr. Kaplan wants to do braces once and the right way, so we will keep checking in and wait until our son is ready. Love this practice - so glad a friend recommended it. AND it’s not in the crazy business of Dunwoody Village!
