About Us
Facial differences caused by a genetic condition can impact a child’s physical, social and emotional development. The Nationwide Children's Orthodontic Treatment Program offers a compassionate approach to comprehensive care, provided by experts who understand the dental development of these children as they grow. Treatment of children with facial differences may start as early as one week old and continues through adolescence into early adulthood with two to three different phases of treatment. Our state-of-the-art facilities offer cutting edge technology and the latest innovations in orthodontic treatment to ensure your child receives the most efficient and effective care.
Patient Education
All patients must be accompanied by a parent or guardian for the initial evaluation, case presentation and start of treatment. Guardians who are not biological parents need to present legal documentation or proof of guardianship.
