TMJ Treatment
Orthodontic treatment can be a beneficial approach for some individuals experiencing Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorders, particularly when the issue stems from bite misalignment or malocclusion. By aligning the teeth and correcting the bite, orthodontic interventions can help reduce strain on the TMJ, potentially alleviating pain and improving jaw function. However, it’s important to note that TMJ disorders are complex, and orthodontic treatment is not always the sole solution.

It was a happy smile check-up for Luka and her mom with Dr. Archer! 😄
A couple years ago, Luka completed Phase 1 braces to create space for her adult teeth to come in properly. At today’s visit, we checked her growth and development — and she’s right on track. Phase 2 is coming soon!

What age should my child first see an orthodontist?
Dr. Archer and Dr. Amy discuss the best age for an evaluation and how early treatment planning can set the foundation for a confident, healthy smile.
💙 The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children have their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7.
💙 In most cases, treatment does not begin at age 7. However, early evaluation allows us to monitor your child’s growth and smile development every 6 months — at no cost to you.
💙 Proactive monitoring helps identify potential concerns early and determine the right timing for treatment, if and when it’s needed.
