Treating
Kiddos

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends children have an orthodontic screening at age seven. This may seem pretty young but it’s only because, in most cases, the first permanent molars and incisors are in at this point and we’re able to see how things are progressing. Our orthodontic office, which is located in the greater Omaha, Nebraska area is kid-friendly and the fun, inviting atmosphere will ensure your child is at ease. We’ll make them laugh, chat about their day and help them get used to sitting in the orthodontist’s chair. Schedule your child’s free orthodontic screening with Dr. Hawley by contacting us at (402) 592-3200 or info@hawleyorthodontics.com.

Smile Watch

Many times, this is simply an observational period. We’ll monitor your child’s development and growth, keep an eye out for red flags and advise you on how to stop habits like thumb sucking. We’ll let you know when the time is right for treatment.

Dr. Hawley is trained in identifying conditions needing early intervention and in dentofacial orthopedics, which relies on using appliances to guide jaw growth. If your child is a candidate for early treatment, Dr. Hawley will answer all of your questions and walk you through your kiddo’s specific diagnosis using pictures and x-rays. Call us at (402) 592-3200 or email info@hawleyorthodontics.com to schedule your child’s free exam and make sure they’re on the path to a confident smile.
