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
Dr. Kaplan and his associates are veryknowledgeable, professional, and friendly! 😁
Dr. Kaplan,It has been almost three years since I started my treatment with you, and I wanted to take a moment to share what has been a very rare and meaningful doctor-patient experience for me.When I first started treatment, I had a few concerns and shared them with you. What stood out to me was how seriously you took my feedback, how carefully you considered my concerns, and how consistently you made sure they were addressed throughout the treatment.I also want to clarify that the long duration of treatment was not because of the actual treatment plan itself. Much of the delay was due to my extended travel in between. Through all of that, you and your team were extremely patient, flexible, and accommodating.Your team has been exceptional as well. Whether it was a question, a scheduling change, or even a last-minute request, they always responded positively and tried their best to accommodate me without hesitation. That level of support is truly appreciated.Dr. Kaplan, I have mentioned this during our visits, but I also wanted to put it in writing because others should know how seriously you take patient feedback. Many people and organizations say they value feedback, but you have genuinely demonstrated what it means to listen, take it seriously, and act on it.I know we still have a little more to complete, but I did not want to wait until the very end to say this.Thank you, Dr. Kaplan, and thank you to your entire team for everything you have done for me over these years. I truly appreciate it.
We’ve had an excellent experience with Kaplan Orthodontics. Dr. Kaplan is amazing, very professional, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable.
