Care for All Ages from Your Wichita Family Orthodontist
At Dillehay Orthodontics, we believe everyone should have access to quality orthodontic treatment and a beautifully aligned smile. We’re proud to offer a full range of orthodontic services, including braces and Invisalign, for children, teens, and adults at our offices in Wichita and Derby.
Wichita Orthodontics for Children
To ensure your child’s smile develops as healthily as possible, it’s important that their teeth and jaws are properly aligned. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children receive an orthodontic evaluation no later than age 7.
By this age, enough development has occurred to identify potential issues with jaw growth and emerging teeth while some baby teeth are still present. In some cases, no immediate treatment is needed. In others, we may recommend monitoring development or starting early treatment at the right time.
Orthodontic Care for Wichita Teens
Early evaluation allows our team to monitor jaw growth and development, helping us identify and treat issues while they’re still in the early stages. This can often reduce overall treatment time.
Teens frequently ask, “How long will I be in braces?” Since every smile is unique, treatment time varies. Our goal is always to create the best possible long-term results for your teen’s smile.
Today’s braces are more comfortable, smaller, and more customizable than ever before. Teens can choose from a variety of styles, materials, and colors to fit their preferences.
In addition to traditional metal braces, teens may also consider clear aligner options like Invisalign. These aligners use a series of clear, removable trays to gradually move teeth into place—without wires or brackets.
Adult Orthodontics in Wichita
Orthodontic treatment isn’t just for children and teens. More adults than ever are choosing to improve their smiles, with about 1 in 5 orthodontic patients now being adults. It’s never too late to achieve the smile you’ve always wanted.
Adults often pursue treatment to improve oral health, boost confidence, or both. We also see many patients who had braces earlier in life and are looking for a “touch-up” to restore their smile.
At Dillehay Orthodontics, we understand that every age group has unique needs. Our team works closely with each patient to deliver personalized care in a welcoming, comfortable environment.
