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
Getting braces as an adult could be somewhat difficult, but Shenandoah Valley orthodontics, made it as easy and painless of an experience as possible. Because the trays get switched out so frequently there’s no need for a drastic change. Thus reducing the pain I experienced with metal braces as a teenager. Also being able to use the app made visits the office much less frequent. Everybody is so nice and I’ve had very fast results. Thank you, Shenandoah Valley orthodontics!
Shenandoah Valley Orthodontics is outstanding in managing your care. I have excellent teeth. The room for many teeth is evaluated and is very well maintained! Thank you!
Fantastic team and wonderful atmosphere! I highly recommend choosing Shenandoah Valley Orthodontics for Invisalign!
I've been going to Shenadoah Valley Orthodontics for the 3rd time and I seriously loved how patient they are with me. To be honest, i've struggled in the beginning of my journey of straightening my teeth. This time i've stuck with it and i'm so happy of how my teeth look this time around. I've always been smiling no matter how bad my teeth were before and now i'm smiling with more confidence! Thank you to the staff for being so friendly each day and answering my questions! I would definitely recommend this place to an adult or kid that wants to straighten their teeth for sure!
I never leave reviews but I’m so thankful for Dr DeArment. My sons teeth were a tough case. Dr DeArment corrected his teeth, after a dentist in Winchester who claimed to also specialize in orthodontics, wasted my time and a lot of my money. My son’s teeth look sooo much better after only 6 months of treatment at Shen Valley Ortho. So grateful!

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!
