The American Association of Orthodontists recommends children have their first orthodontic check-up by age 7. However, Dr. Shi welcomes patients of all ages, from children to adults. Early evaluation allows us to identify potential issues and determine the optimal time to begin treatment, though many children may not need immediate intervention.

We provide comprehensive care instructions and support throughout your treatment.
