Orthodontics for Children
According to the American Association of Orthodontists and Dr. Sherri Weissman, your child should receive an orthodontic screening by the age of seven.
At Weissman Orthodontics, we offer braces especially for children. Dr. Weissman will treat your children like our own by giving them the best possible orthodontic care.
Benefits of Early Detection
Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent your child’s teeth from developing more serious problems. By age seven, your child's teeth have developed enough to allow our expert doctor at Weissman Orthodontics to spot subtle problems with emerging teeth and jaw growth before your child loses all of their baby teeth.
Early treatment takes advantage of facial growth and tooth eruption. Waiting until all your child’s permanent teeth grow in before scheduling a visit with an orthodontist like Weissman isn’t ideal.
Let us evaluate your child early. That way, you won’t have to worry about more severe interventions later.
Your Child’s Treatment
Take advantage of our free consultation and let Dr. Weissman evaluate your child early. We determine when your child’s treatment should begin to achieve maximum benefit of facial growth and function with the least amount of time and expense.
Your check-up at Weissman Orthodontics may reveal that your child's bite is fine, and braces for kids aren't necessary at this time.
Or, Dr. Weissman may identify a developing problem but recommend monitoring your child's growth and development for the time being. After that, we can begin treatment at the appropriate time if Dr. Weissman still thinks it will work for your child.
Orthodontics for Teens
Dr. Weissman understands that being a teen has its share of difficulties.
Homework, peer pressure, and the struggle to fit in. While Weissman Orthodontics can’t fix every single issue for adolescents around Birmingham, we can improve your teen’s smile.
Bad Bites & More
Experienced orthodontists like Dr. Weissman easily recognize problems with spacing, crowding, bite, and alignment in this age range.
Also, your teen’s jaw and bone structure are formed enough to allow orthodontic treatment to begin.
At Weissman Orthodontics, your teen can choose between Invisalign clear aligners, metal braces, clear ceramic braces, or gold braces.
Each of these choices offers unique benefits while transforming your teen’s smile.
Orthodontics for Adults
Adult braces are one of Weissman Orthodontics’ many specialties. It is never too late to get the smile you have always dreamed of!
Each year, more and more adults visit our Birmingham orthodontic office for treatment each year. You’re never too old to benefit from orthodontic treatment with Dr. Weissman, and that’s why we offer orthodontics for adults at Weissman Orthodontics.
Why Do Adults Need Braces?
Your teeth don’t stop moving after you grow up. Teeth that seemed straight and aligned in youth could have shifted later. Movement like this leads to jaw pain, trouble brushing, or a smile you’re unhappy with.
If you leave misaligned teeth untreated, you may end up with other dental problems such as tooth decay and gum disease.
You may also notice abnormal wear on the surface of your teeth or that it’s difficult to chew normally.
Modern Braces Technology
Recent trends in orthodontic research have allowed us to offer more aesthetic options than in previous generations. Modern braces are more compact, have increased flexibility, and better comfort. Birmingham patients report much less irritation.
At Weissman Orthodontics, we offer LightForce braces with tooth-colored brackets. Invisalign® is very popular among our adult patients to straighten teeth subtly.
Dr. Weissman will happily work with you to decide what is the better option for your particular bite and orthodontic problem. It brings us great joy to treat adults and provide you with top-notch care.
