Blast off to confidence!
Every kid deserves a head start on a great smile. The Sperry and Tivis Family Orthodontics Rising Star program gives kids ages 7-plus exactly that—and much more!
When should my child see an orthodontist?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that parents schedule their child’s first orthodontic visit by age 7. It’s around this time that their little smiles have a mix of baby and permanent teeth, and because their jaws are still developing, it’s important to monitor how adult teeth come in.
Without growth monitoring, crowding and other potential problems may make orthodontic treatment more challenging later in life.
What is Orthodontic Growth Monitoring?
As your little one grows, your Sperry and Tivis Family Orthodontics care team can help watch for orthodontic issues before they become more serious, making the work of orthodontics in their later years a lot easier. For example, we’ll monitor:
- Potential cross-bite and open bite development
- Obstructive breathing issues—is your child a mouth breather?
- Position of baby and permanent teeth
- Dental overcrowding or spacing which could hinder or affect permanent tooth development or position
- How permanent teeth come in
- Teeth at risk for injury or decay due to protrusion or overcrowding
- Harmful habits that may cause orthodontic problems (thumb sucking)
- Oral hygiene and overall dental health
- A balanced facial appearance
Sperry and Tivis Family Orthodontics Reviews
The staff and Dr Sperry have been absolutely amazing and very helpful and knowledgeable. I have never been a big fan of dentists because of bad experiences in the past and it is so comforting to be able to come in and be treated with such compassion and care! Thank you for a wonderful experience!
I had a wonderful overall experience with STW!! From the professionalism and expertise of the orthodontist to the friendliness and attentiveness of the entire staff, everyone made me feel comfortable and well taken care of throughout my visit.The orthodontist is knowledgeable, thorough, and professional, taking the time to explain the treatment process and address any concerns. The clinic itself is clean, welcoming, and well-organized, and the staff are always friendly, accommodating, and helpful.What truly stands out is the excellent patient care and the positive atmosphere they create. You can tell that they genuinely care about their patients and are committed to providing quality service.I highly recommend this clinic to anyone looking for orthodontic care. Excellent orthodontist, amazing staff, and a great overall experience! Definitely deserving of five stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I brought my daughter for a consultation and am very impressed by the service and attention that was given. We took a while to come back and set up treatment because my daughter needed a route canal. They were so patient and the orthodontist is very knowledgable and answered all the questions we had. You can tell he has been doing this for a long time. We know we made a good choice coming here!
We have seen several different orthodontists , and Sperry, Tivis, & Wentz by far have been the best! They have treated all four of our girls. They were quick to take care of my daughter when she was diagnosed with brain cancer, and needed her braces taken off for MRI’s then quickly got her in to Invisalign. We are very pleased with the services provided!
Excellent service and a free coffee!
