Orthodontics for Everyone!

At Surfside Kids Dental and Orthodontics, we work hard to make sure our little Surfsiders are receiving the best dental services possible and that they leave our offices smiling a little brighter. Because of our commitment to excellent dental and orthodontic work and the advancements in dental technology we’ve had many parents show interest in becoming patients themselves. This past year Surfside Orthodontics started offering our services to adults!  

Providing Excellent Service in a Safe Atmosphere

We know that going to the dentist isn’t always a kid’s definition of fun so we sought out to change that. Our Surfside Team made it our mission to create an environment that is welcoming and relaxed. Walking into one of our offices, you’ll see beach and ocean-themed murals covering the walls because we want to cultivate a fun atmosphere for our little Surfsiders. Consequently, we formed a large community of parents and kids that love coming into our dental offices! 

One of our adult patients says, “Surfside has a great team, and for anyone a little fearful of the dentist, it’s a really welcoming and fun environment. You don’t really feel like you’re at a dentist’s office. They get you in and out fast. I definitely think it’s a great place to go for the family.”

We want to make your dental appointments quick and comfortable. This is why we created the fun atmosphere Surfside is known for! 

Improvements in Dental Technology

Technology has vastly improved over the last decade. You can see these advancements in dentistry and orthodontics. For issues that there wasn’t a solution for or a solution that was painful or uncomfortable 5,10, or 15 years ago, there have been advancements in dental technology that allow a more comfortable treatment! Because of the newness of these treatments, we’ve noticed a lot of adults that never sought orthodontia until now. In fact, the American Association of Orthodontists states that one in five orthodontic patients is over the age of 21! 

Common Reasons for Adult Orthodontia

Some adults never sought orthodontia until now and we are proud to offer services to them now. Here are some common problems that are seen amongst our ortho patients: 

• A bad bite or malocclusion, causing teeth to fit together incorrectly
• Teeth are crowded or spaced apart, possibly leading to tooth decay or gum disease
• Abnormal jaw pain or pressure that is caused by crooked teeth
• A desire for a healthier mouth and a more confident smile 

For these reasons, we offer metal braces, clear braces, and Invisalign. If you are interested in booking an orthodontist appointment for you or your kids, please contact Surfside Kids Dental and Orthodontics Offices today.
