Did you know that 90% of jaw growth is completed by 12 years old?
That's why starting early matters: the younger your child starts, the quicker and easier it is.
Does your child's smile look like one of these?
These are some of the patterns parents spot first. If one looks familiar, the free photo assessment is the easiest way to have it looked at properly.

Mia's Assessment Results
Child · MiaReviewed by ·Dr. Phillip Stein
Dr. Phillip SteinFurther evaluation recommended3 areas needing attention3 treatment goals
3Bite · teeth together
Crowding is visible as the adult teeth come through; the arches look short of room.
1Crowded teeth
The teeth are coming through with less space than they need, so they overlap or twist. Crowding is usually a sign the jaws need more room rather than a problem with the teeth themselves. Guiding jaw development while Mia is growing aims to make room so the adult teeth can come through straighter.
Doctor's Notes
Overall this is a mild pattern, and that is exactly when guidance works best: crowding as the adult teeth come through, a narrow upper arch, and a lower jaw sitting a little back in profile. Starting now, while growth is on our side, gives us the gentlest path. We will confirm everything in person before anything begins.
Treatment Goals
- 1Guide development of the upper jaw to create room for adult teeth
- 2Establish a correct tongue resting position
- 3Monitor jaw development with regular photo reviews
