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
Dr. Underwood and his team are simply the best. So kind and caring. 10/-10!
Dr. Underwood, Rebecca, and the rest of the staff at Capital City Orthodontic Specialists gave us a great experience! My son got his braces on today, and the entire process was smooth from start to finish. He said it was completely painless, and the staff took such good care of him, making sure he was comfortable every step of the way. Everyone was friendly, professional, and made what could have been a stressful appointment a really positive experience. We highly recommend them!
Everyone there is always so friendly. On most recent visit this past week, there was a funny situation that had us the team, me and the other lady cracking up. Focus, Brenda!! They were also very professional and informative. Glad I found these folks.
I just got my braces off yesterday after wearing them for more than two years, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Before starting treatment, I was very self-conscious about my teeth, but now my smile has completely transformed. The difference is incredible, and I finally have the confidence to smile without hesitation.From the very beginning, everyone at Smile Doctors made me feel welcome and comfortable. They created such a positive environment that I genuinely looked forward to every appointment. Dr. Underwood and Tara were especially amazing—they always made my visits enjoyable, comfortable, and stress-free.I am so grateful for the care, kindness, and dedication of the entire team. Thanks to Smile Doctors, I now have a smile that I truly love. I highly recommend Capital City Orthodontics to anyone considering orthodontic treatment.They have made such a positive impact on my confidence, and I will always be thankful for my experience.
Very nice people explained things in detail. Very honest
