Braces For Children In Sugar Land and Missouri City, TX

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends visiting the orthodontist around age seven, and Dr. Todd Harmon and our team agree! It’s the ideal age to come to our office because, by that time, most children have a mix of baby teeth and adult teeth, making it easier for Dr. Harmon to diagnose and correct tooth and jaw problems sooner and without surgery.

Does your child have:

  • Early or late loss of baby teeth
  • A hard time chewing or biting food
  • Mouth breathing
  • Finger or thumb sucking
  • Crowded, misplaced, or blocked teeth
  • Jaws that pop or make sounds when opening and closing
  • Teeth that come together abnormally, or do not come together at all
  • Jaws and teeth that are not proportionate to the rest of the face
  • Crowded front teeth around age seven or eight

If so, a visit with our Sugar Land orthodontist, Dr. Harmon, can help you understand the treatment options available for your child.

What can Dr. Harmon do for your child?

  • Correct and guide the growth of your child's jaw to help the permanent teeth come in straight
  • Regulate the width of the upper and lower arches
  • Create more space for crowded teeth
  • Avoid the need for permanent tooth extractions later in life
  • Correct thumb sucking and help improve minor speech problems

Length of Treatment

There is no standard treatment time for orthodontics, although the general time frame can range from one year to two years. Dr. Harmon specifically designs and customizes a treatment plan for each child. He will carefully evaluate your child's dentition, listen to your requests for end results, and will then determine the best course of treatment based on those criteria, in addition to the position of the teeth and jaw.

Why choose Dr. Harmon for your child’s orthodontic care?

Not only is Dr. Harmon a specialist in the field of orthodontics, he is also a father of six! He understands that each child has a unique personality and deserves to be treated with kindness and compassion. He and all of our staff are considerate, caring, and intuitive to the needs of each child. Sometimes we even get a little creative in order to accomplish treatment, but that's what makes Todd Harmon Orthodontics interesting and fun!

We offer complimentary consultations at our Sugar Land, TX orthodontic office for your convenience. You and your child will be seated in a private consult room where Dr. Harmon will visually evaluate your child's mouth and show you videos or pictures describing the treatment process. Afterwards, our treatment coordinator will visit with you to discuss finances and answer any questions you may have.
