Building Strong Smiles from the Start

The American Association of Orthodontists and Drs. Adam  Hoxie, Mike  Hoxie, Mike  Lee, and Tiffany  Waki recommend that kids visit an orthodontist by age seven. Don’t worry: most young patients leave Ovation Orthodontics with stickers, not braces.

At this first check‑up, our doctors make sure baby teeth, new permanent teeth, and growing jaws are lining up the way they should. If everything looks good, we simply place your child on a friendly “watchful waiting list” and invite you back once or twice a year.

Should we spot early warning signs (crowding, crossbites, speech issues), we can guide jaw growth with simple Phase 1 treatments while your child is still growing, often preventing tougher problems (and higher costs) later on.

Benefits of Early Orthodontic Treatment

What if we spot a problem while your child’s smile is still growing? Beginning treatment now can pay off in big ways, often with less time and cost than waiting until the teen years.

Early care helps the upper and lower jaws grow in harmony, allowing permanent teeth to slip into place without competing for space. A quick course of expanders or partial braces today can shave months off full braces later on.

Correcting protruding upper incisors lowers the risk of chips and breaks on the playground. Closing gaps and straightening visible teeth lets kids smile freely in class photos and video calls.

What Early Intervention Can Treat

If you notice any of these signs, a first exam can keep small issues from turning into big headaches.

Confident Smiles for Busy Teens

The teenage years are the prime time for orthodontic treatment. Whether your teen never needed Phase 1 care or is moving into Phase 2, Ovation Orthodontics guides them toward a straight, healthy smile while respecting classes, sports, and social life.

Our expert doctors create plans that balance results with convenience, so your teen can focus on being a teenager, minus the worry about crooked teeth or jaw pain.

Treatment Options Built
for Teen Life

Today’s teens don’t have to settle for one‑size‑fits‑all brackets. From low‑profile metal braces to nearly invisible aligners, Drs. Adam Hoxie, Mike Hoxie, Mike Lee, and Tiffany Waki match treatment to your child’s goals, stage of growth, and daily routine.

Each option uses advanced digital scans for precise planning and fewer office visits, keeping time away from school or practice to a minimum.

Custom Braces

Prefer fixed brackets? Our custom braces system starts with a quick 3D scan that pinpoints the ideal position for each bracket. Using printed placement trays, our doctors bond every brace in the perfect spot on the first try.

Because everything is customized, teens enjoy fewer adjustment appointments, less soreness, and often a shorter total time in braces. Additionally, you can choose between clear or colored ties for a touch of personal style.

Whichever path your teen chooses, Phase 2 treatment at Ovation Orthodontics finishes the job begun in childhood: a straight, well‑balanced bite that feels good, looks great, and lasts a lifetime.

Clear Aligners

Clear aligners are perfect for image‑conscious teens who want to straighten their teeth without drawing attention. Each set is custom-printed to fit snugly (even around erupting molars), while blue wear indicators help everyone track compliance.

We include backup trays for those inevitable locker room “oops” moments. Teens can remove aligners to eat popcorn at the game or play the trumpet in band, making treatment blend seamlessly into their schedule.
