Kubo Orthodontic Group provides care for both children and adults, so everyone can benefit from a beautiful, healthy smile at the "right age".

Both children and adults can benefit from a beautiful, healthy smile. Straight teeth not only make it easier to brush and floss, they also play an important role in building self-esteem, confidence, and a positive self-image.

In the past, orthodontic treatment was often postponed until the adolescent years, when all the permanent teeth came in. We now know that many orthodontic problems can be treated earlier and much easier by working with the growth that takes place in younger children. Drs. Kubo follow the American Association of Orthodontists recommendation that every child have an orthodontic evaluation by age 7, or earlier if a problem is detected. Although treatment may not begin at this young age, an early examination allows us to monitor your child’s dental development to determine the best time to start. Early detection can significantly reduce the need for removal of permanent teeth and identify any serious "bite" imbalances that can greatly benefit from early intervention. Younger children are often more enthusiastic and cooperative. In many cases, positive orthodontic results can be achieved which would not otherwise be possible once the face and jaws have finished growing.
