Caswell Orthodontics is situated in the heart of Kahala, HI. We work with kids who need guidance throughout the orthodontic process and specialize in gentle shift treatment. We work incredibly hard to make sure your child’s mouth is properly aligned in a healthy, discomfort, and time-efficient way.
We know that there can be bumps on the road to that dream smile. We hear you. That’s why no matter where you are in your smile journey, we make sure you’re informed, comfortable, and confident every step of the way.
The orthodontists at Caswell Orthodontics work tirelessly to craft and apply specific interceptive orthodontic strategies for each child with a focus on excellence. Our care is extremely gentle as we work with the most modern technology available to us in palatal expanders, habit breaker appliances, and early functional appliance therapy.
The main focus of the interceptive orthodontic treatments that we offer is proactive intervention, which ensures the development of beautiful and healthy smiles.
In interceptive orthodontics, crossbite correction is arguably the most important and the first. With palatal expanders and gentle jaw widening, we correct crossbites and improve the bite-tooth relationship. This also leads to favorable jaw alignment that allows proper alignment of the teeth and supporting bones.
As a result of the use of devices like palatal expanders, narrow dental arches can be widened, and the subsequent teeth can be spaced out. Considered early orthodontic treatment, it decreases the potential of complex procedures in the future and helps resolve crowding. It helps develop a smile that is aligned.
During tooth eruption periods, the orthodontist vigilantly observes the child to use orthodontic monitoring to guide the teeth to their desired positions. The timely removal of deciduous teeth, in conjunction with orthodontic devices, helps in space maintenance and alignment of the permanent teeth.
At Caswell Orthodontics, we do not focus simply on straightening your child’s teeth, but also on creating healthy smiles that build confidence for a lifetime. Our caring specialists are dedicated to your child’s comfort and utilize the latest techniques in interceptive orthodontics and pediatric dentistry to provide work of the highest caliber.
We value the happiness of our patients and take pride in the Kahala community by ensuring each child finds a positive association with early orthodontic interventions. Our state-of-the-art facilities, combined with the gentle use of nitrous oxide and laser dentistry, provide a relaxed atmosphere for children.
Interceptive orthodontics is the identification and treatment of orthodontic and alignment problems in children while they are still growing. Proper tooth and jaw development with early treatment minimizes the chances of more complex procedures being needed.
The American Association of Orthodontists suggests children undergo an orthodontic evaluation by the age of 7 to address problems like crowding, crossbites, and jaw growth.
As part of interceptive treatment, palatal expanders are used to correct crossbites, provide, aid in the supportive balance of facial growth, which is widening the upper jaw, and maintain the correct spacing of the teeth.
In early orthodontic treatment, functional appliances are used to rehabilitate jaw and muscle anomalies. Another appliance in this stage of treatment is the habit breaker appliance, which aims to counter thumb sucking and other practices that lead to bite complications.
Throughout the treatment, we consistently maintain the oral health of our patients using laser dentistry, preventive resin restorations, and managing dental trauma with pulp therapy in children and necessary pediatric extractions. In addition to this, we provide other advanced techniques that help in maintaining trauma.
