We know you want the best for your child. We feel the same way. That’s why we created the Rising Star program here at Capital City Orthodontic Specialists. It is a special program designed just for children ages 5 to 10.
Think of it as a head start on a lifetime of confidence. This complimentary program allows us to keep an eye on your child’s development in a fun, friendly space where they can feel totally at ease. We are in this together, monitoring their growth so you don't have to worry about the details.
Why Should My Child See an Orthodontist
You might be wondering why we start so young. It’s really about peace of mind. The goal of early care is to catch potential issues before they become bigger hurdles. By guiding the growth of the jaw and making sure there is enough room for incoming permanent teeth, we can often make things much easier down the road.
Sometimes, early guidance can even prevent the need for more complex treatment later. We keep a close watch for common developmental signs like these:
- Crossbites
- Open bites
- Deep bites
- Underbites
- Protrusion
- Crowding
- Spacing
- Oral habits like thumb sucking
When Is the Right Time for a First Visit
The American Association of Orthodontists suggests children have their first check-up by age 7. We know that sounds young! But at age 7, most kids have a mix of baby teeth and adult teeth. This unique stage helps us see how their smile is taking shape.
We are trained to spot growth patterns that might need attention. Often, we simply observe and wait for the right moment. But if we do see something developing, we can figure out the best plan together.
Capital City Orthodontic Specialists Reviews
Capital City Orthodontics were amazing. They take really great care of their patients. They really made the whole process a breeze.
I really love this location! 💕 Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. The front desk staff is especially amazing she’s so kind and helpful. The dentist was also wonderful and even helped me find a place where I could get my teeth cleaned. They truly care about their patients. I highly recommend this place! 🤍
I had Invisalign treatment and our son got conventional braces. We had great experience with them. This time, we just went to replace retainers after a few years. The orthodontists have changed at the location we used to go, but they were all nice. My son's retainers had been already broken, so they accommodated him as soon as possible at a different office and made them right there while he waited. (I went home and went back to the office later to pick up, which is a normal practice.)
Initial visit was great! Everyone was polite, professional, patient and kind! From my first phone call with Samm, before I even went into the office- my experience has been amazing! The office is lovely, every single one of the staff I interacted with was fantastic as well. Dr Cohen was so informative and helpful talking about her recommendations for my treatment and Shannon spent lots of time going over options that were available to me. I never felt rushed and appreciate the transparency from the very beginning! Looking forward to starting treatment!
Dr. Underwood and the whole staff are so nice and professional. Both grandchildren have great results and are almost ready to have braces removed. Thank you Dr. Underwood
