Invisalign® shirley nyIf it’s time for your little one’s next dental checkup, see about checking in on their alignment, as well. When they start to have a mixture of adult and baby teeth, their dentist can start to tell if they could use a little assistance, so that’s typically the time to talk orthodontics. At their next checkup, we can talk things through so that you and yours have a real plan in place. Because they depend on their smile for every first impression that they make.

When your family visits Shirley Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry in Shirley, NY, you’ve got someone who truly cares. Our office is built to help children to grow into happy and healthy adult smiles, one biannual dental checkup at a time.

Are They Staying Up Do Date With Their Dentistry?

Now that we are finally into 2026, it’s time for your family to make your plans for the year. Well, if those don’t include coming in for at least two biannual checkups over the next twelve months, then it’s time to change your approach. Most people, adults and children alike, are supposed to see their dentist every six months for routine maintenance.

Your child’s biannual checkups include some of the same things that yours do. We can take a look at how they are progressing to help identify areas where they could better brush and floss. And with a thorough cleaning, our dental hygienists can remove plaque and tartar buildup to fight back against bacterial buildup.

Invisalign® Offers A More Private Orthodontic Path

As they start to grow, it’s important to track their oral health needs. Well, once they start to have a mixture of adult and baby teeth, then they are ready for an orthodontic evaluation. We can take a look at what’s going on to determine their next steps.

If it is time for orthodontic intervention, then ask whether Invisalign® is right for them. This innovative method uses nearly invisible aligner trays to gently, yet effectively, shift the location of teeth along the oral ridge. It’s a little more private.
