For patients who don't want braces, Invisalign or Invisalign Teen can help you achieve that confident smile and beautiful teeth that you long for without anyone noticing. For patients requiring metal wire and bracket braces, self-ligating devices are an excellent choice to reduce malocclusions of their teeth. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends screening all children by the age of seven from a trained orthodontist.
The child may not need treatment until his early teens, but an evaluation at the age of seven will allow the orthodontist to ascertain future needs. If treatment is applicable at this age, then the orthodontist will suggest early treatment. This will prevent other issues like surgery or other more serious corrections later in life. This is called 'preventative treatment'.
Early treatment is suggested if a child has spent previous years thumb-sucking, or if the child has an early or late loss of baby teeth. Also, mouth breathing and abnormal swallowing can be addressed with early treatment.

My whole family has been going to Dr. Tran for almost 20 years. I realized quickly that I'd never previously experienced a great dentist. He is smart and honest in his diagnoses, clear in communicating treatment options, recommends good specialists when necessary, and has great hands. I've never experienced any significant pain ordiscomfort.
Dr. Tran is also a nice guy, has always employed excellent staff, and makes time when emergencies occur. I cannot recommend him more enthusiastically.

Honestly peninsula orthodontist and dentistry will always be my number one orthodontist to go to!! And here's the reason why: ( you might want to grab a drink and some popcorn for this because it's story time!)
I had a terrible a experience at one orthodontist office 3 years ago... so bad That they didn't really check my teeth, check my wire, my brackets, and didn't bother to change the coloring band on my braces.... when I first started I gave $1,000 for my financial payments... when I got my expander, I could honestly tell you it was a NIGHTMARE.... the roof of my mouth was swollen so bad and it hurt to the point I would cry... I stopped going to that I office since they didn't really do their job...
I ended up coming to peninsula orthodontist and dentistry to get everything fixed and better care for my teeth... when I showed up for my first consultation Dr. Tipton was there and had told me that first day, my expander was placed on wrong and was causing swelling... he immediately removed it. I can tell you I was in pain and actually feeling my blood circulating again! Ever since that day, I knew I was able to trust them with anything!
When dr. Hou came around I was a little sketchy about her but I didn't worry much since she felt like that type of person you can trust. Ever since dr. Tipton retired and Dr. Hou came along, my teeth have been looking healthier and straightener than ever! Next month Dr. Hou and I are going to look at my teeth together for any fixing and possibly get my braces off!
Everyone there has always been friendly and so positive no matter if they are have a good or bad day! Thank you guys for helping!

From Dr. Tipton to Dr. Hou, my experience here at Peninsula Orthodontics and Dentistry has been amazing! I've had my braces on for almost two years now and every single appointment has gone through smoothly and well. The team is nice and caring, and receptionist Rochelle is always greeting everyone with a bright smile.
They treat and care for you like family and I highly recommend this orthodontics and dentistry for everyone of all ages.
