Early Evaluation for Kids
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends every child be screened by age seven. An early check-up lets us spot problems while they're still simple to correct — often guiding jaw growth and incoming teeth before braces are even needed.
There's no cost and no obligation: your child's first exam and consultation are complimentary, and no referral is required.

Google Review Leticia De Oliveira
I am very happy with my results. I've had braces for a long time (4 and half years). I came to the Braces place having 2 years worth of braces (still intact) because my previous place couldn't close my gaps. Dr.Rizkallah and his assistants were very patient and kind. They understood my frustration of having braces for 4 and half years. Today I finally got them off and I'm beyond satisfied, they look better than I could ever imagined. I recommend this place!
