Orthodontics for Kids in Vineland, NJ

Orthodontics for Young Kids

With new dental technology, it’s now possible to anticipate future problems of alignment or impactions by looking at your child’s bone structure and developing bite. Dr. Bristol-Mártir can provide treatment to reshape your child’s jaw and facial bones to open up room for teeth to erupt into their correct positions. This treatment is called interceptive orthodontics.

Space Maintainers

When your child loses a baby tooth too early, it’s important to maintain adequate space for the permanent tooth to come in. Teeth on either side of the gap will quickly move into that space, possibly forcing your child’s permanent tooth to come in crooked or become impacted. With space maintainers, we can hold that space open, preventing future problems.

Braces / Clear Aligners for Teens

Correcting your child’s bite and teeth alignment is a vital part of providing excellent dental care during the pre-teen and teenage years. This is where Dr. Bristol-Mártier’s training and experience in pediatric orthodontics is so valuable. She can choose the best system of braces or clear aligners that will achieve the best result for your child.
