Early Orthodontics
Guiding a perfect smile into place takes work, and beginning that work at an early age makes it easier to achieve a healthy and beautiful smile. Call Shenandoah Valley Orthodontics today to schedule an appointment with Dr. Damon W. DeArment or Dr. Daniel J. Lill and learn more about how early orthodontics in Winchester and Front Royal, Virginia, benefits your child’s smile. Our orthodontists and team are eager to serve you!
The childhood and teenage years are a great time for orthodontic treatment. The American Association of Orthodontists® recommends that a child receive their first orthodontic screening by age 7, and we encourage you to bring your child to our office by this age to evaluate their need for orthodontic treatment. When we are able to start treatment early, we can often detect and correct potential problems before they become more serious. This can help save time as well as money.
Advantages of Early Treatment
Early orthodontic treatment is advantageous because a young child’s teeth have not finished erupting; this allows us to guide their eruption and address any problems at the earliest possible stage. Whether your child needs removable or fixed appliances, early orthodontic treatment can help to:
- Provide more room for crowded erupting teeth
- Preserve space for teeth that have not yet erupted
- Create facial symmetry by guiding jaw growth
- Reduce the possible need for tooth extraction
- Reduce the overall treatment time
When you bring your child to our practice, our orthodontists will be able to determine whether treatment is needed and when it should begin. If early orthodontic treatment is needed, we will create a personalized treatment plan for optimal results. For more information and to set up your child’s orthodontic consultation at our office, we invite you to call or visit us today!
Early Orthodontic Treatment Reviews
Shenandoah Valley Orthodontics is absolutely amazing!!! From the very first visit the staff and doctors are amazing, kind and walk you through the treatment and process step by step. I would suggest everyone go to them!
Serendipitously, my 9 year old was referred to SVO for developmental orthodontics. My 14 year old was simultaneously scheduled for braces- but with our family dentist. (Which we paid $150 consultation fee for.) I didn’t feel informed enough to decide on traditional braces or Invisalign (my son’s preference) for him. I had traditional braces 30 years ago and my experience was not pleasant. I didn’t know enough about Invisalign to make an informed choice. Considering the time, money and effort involved with orthodontics, we went to Shenandoah Valley Ortho.Our family has multiple patients who are different ages, and have very different treatment needs. (Our consultation was completely free)We were in awe of this place. The office is state of the art and the customer service and attention to detail is genuinely - thoughtful.Welcoming my kids - by name on their reception sign, offering us refreshments, having plenty of things to do to keep kids busy while we waited, a guided tour, futuristic X-rays and scans, to even having small personalized gifts prepared for each of them that just says “thanks for choosing us, cause you didn’t have to.” From our first consultation until now, it’s been effortless as the parent of double orthodontic patients, simultaneously, with different needs.Our treatment coordinator, Bonnie, went above and beyond to customize our care and ensure we understood every step. She followed through on everything she told us, and it was enjoyable to work with her.Until you’ve seen your child’s bite model in 3D on a huge flat screen, while a knowledgeable and experienced orthodontist explains to you what needs to be corrected, followed by a digital demonstration of the process from start to finish before finally revealing a visual image of the end result to give you a sneak preview of how remarkable your kid’s new smile is before it’s even happened…..well then you just haven’t been to Shenandoah Valley Orthodontics.
A Shenandoah Valley Orthodontics consultation should be made available to all dental patients regardless of age or issue - and more dentists need to be recommending SVO to more of their patients. SVO will treat you to a consultation and determine if you're a fit for Invisalign aligners. SVO excels at providing orthodontic care for their patients. Everything they do shines - their culture of care, their friendliness, attentiveness, explanations, treatment reviews, and even the financials - they are all about providing the best experience for their patients. For new patients, getting new aligners can be a little frightful at first, but in no time, you'll be moving through your treatment aligners with ease, and delightfully looking forward to each consecutive aligner. Teeth can be beautiful thing, but most importantly, they are tied to good health and well-being - which is why it is so important to have SVO check your teeth. Walk in that door and get your consultation started!
Love the Orthodontist, the atmosphere and the team at both facilities. They never made me self conscious about my smile before I started Invisalign. I love my smile and when I show the video of my progress everyone is impressed. I always recommend Shenandoah Valley Orthodontics.
Shenandoah Valley Orthodontics is amazing! The staff is friendly, professional, and always makes every visit easy. Highly recommend their excellent care!

Common Orthodontic Problems
Our talented orthodontists and team are here for all your orthodontic needs. We can solve multiple orthodontic issues with our range of treatment options. Call Shenandoah Valley Orthodontics today to schedule an appointment with Dr. Damon W. DeArment or Dr. Daniel J. Lill and learn more about how to address common orthodontic problems in Winchester and Front Royal, Virginia.
We are committed to treating all of your orthodontic problems so you can achieve a smile that is straighter, healthier, more functional and more attractive. Some of the most common orthodontic problems we see at our office include the following:
Overbite - In an overbite, the upper front teeth extend out over the lower front teeth. This sometimes causes the lower front teeth to bite into the roof of the mouth.
Underbite - An underbite occurs when the lower jaw extends out, resulting in the lower front teeth sitting in front of the upper front teeth.
Open Bite - An open bite is characterized by upper and lower front teeth that do not overlap. This often causes problems with proper chewing and may also contribute to other unwanted habits like tongue thrusting.
Crossbite - In a crossbite, the upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth. This may result in tooth stratification and misaligned jaw growth.
Upper Front Teeth Protrusion - In this type of bite, the upper teeth extend too far forward, or the lower front teeth do not extend far enough forward. This can impact both the appearance and function of the teeth.
Unmatched Dental Midlines - This orthodontic problem is caused when the back bite does not fit and match correctly. It may negatively impact the jaw and proper dental function. To discover how our skilled orthodontists and team are able to treat these and other orthodontic problems, we invite you to contact us today!
