Our team would be more than happy to meet with you and your child and address any questions or concerns you may have.
Benefits of Early Orthodontic Treatment
Some people mistakenly believe orthodontic treatment is reserved for teenagers and adults. But braces for children is only becoming more and more popular, and for good reason. When done at a young age, orthodontic treatment can prevent further issues from developing in the future. This could save you a lot of hassle and money down the line. Braces for children can also be used to help guide your child’s jaw into a better position.
What are the Treatment Options?
It all depends on the unique case, as every patient is unique, and some children need earlier prevention than others. Keep in mind that the American Association of Orthodontists recommends that kids go to the orthodontist as early as age seven, so it’s usually during this initial appointment that it can be determined whether or not your child needs orthodontic treatment. From there, the specific treatment options can be discussed.
Does My Child Need Orthodontic Treatment?
If you’re child has any of the following issues, then there’s a good chance they can benefit from braces for children:
- Difficulty chewing or biting food
- Large gaps between the teeth
- Prolonged thumb sucking
- Overlapping or overcrowded teeth
- A bad bite
- Early or late loss of the baby teeth
- Jaws and teeth that are out of proportion with the rest of the facial features
- Crowded front teeth

Excellent service and treatment!

Category: orthodontistWe have been seeing Dr. St. Loius at Central Texas Orthodontics for a couple kids now over several years. Everytime we walk in for an appointment, we are greeted warmly and promptly taken back. The office is easy to get to and always runs on time, we have never had to wait to be seen, which is remarkable for a medical/dental office! The payment options were also fair and easy to understand. And the follow up, even after those braces come off, has been stellar! Retainers get lost or chewed up sometimes (ugg!), but a quick text into the office and we were able to drop off the original molds and have new ones made very quickly. Everyone who works at this office truly cares, and you can tell they all enjoy where they work, which is really wonderful to see. I cannot speak highly enough of this office, the staff, the care, and ESPECIALLY the after care and protecting our investment.

Category: orthodontistDr. St. Louis and his staff are exceptional! Their professional, friendly and caring manner stand out every time I have an appointment. They are always very positive during my visits and make me feel like I’m part of their family. I never have to wait to be seen and I’m usually out in a minimal amount of time. I had my last orthodontic visit recently and they invited me to stop in anytime, just to say hello. I highly recommend Central Texas Orthodontics to anyone needing their services. They are truly the BEST!

Category: orthodontistDr. B. and his team are fantastic: Everyone just truly cares! They are knowledgeable and super helpful, always happy to consult. I recommend CTO not only for children and teens, but for adults as well! My two teenage daughters got their braces and I got my Invisalign. Dr. B. took his time to go over all our treatment plans and make adjustments. The communication is seamless and very responsive. All team members are wonderful - my special shoutout goes to Beatrice and Christen though: Those two lovely ladies go above and beyond with everything they do! Thanks to y’alls fabulous care our teeth are all straight now!
