One practice for the whole family
Your child's dentist and orthodontist are on the same team.
Most families see a pediatric dentist in one place and an orthodontist somewhere else, then repeat the same history twice. Here, both specialties are part of one practice.
So when a checkup turns up crowding or a bite problem, the next step is with people your child already knows. No starting over with a new office and a new stack of forms.
Parents can get braces or clear aligners here too. Richmond families have trusted us with their smiles for over 100 years.

More Than Straight Teeth: A Healthier Bite for Every Stage of Life
From a child’s first orthodontic checkup to adult treatment, our specialty-trained orthodontists in Richmond, VA correct the full spectrum of bite issues and airway-related concerns. Healthy bites help kids breathe, sleep, chew, and speak more comfortably.
Overbite
Upper front teeth overlap lower teeth too far vertically. Left untreated, deep bites can wear enamel and cause jaw pain.
Treatment OptionsUnderbite
Lower teeth sit in front of upper teeth when biting down. Early treatment in growing kids can guide jaw development before it becomes complex.
Underbite CorrectionCrossbite
One or more upper teeth bite inside the lower teeth. Often signals a narrow upper jaw that responds well to a palatal expander in growing children.
Correct the BiteOpen Bite
Upper and lower teeth don’t touch when the mouth is closed. Often linked to thumb-sucking, tongue thrust, or jaw growth patterns.
Open Bite CareProtrusion
Upper front teeth stick out past the lower teeth, also called “buck teeth.” Beyond appearance, protruding teeth are at higher risk for chips and dental trauma.
Straighten the SmileCrowding
When there isn’t enough room in the jaw, teeth shift, twist, and overlap. Crowding makes brushing harder and raises cavity risk.
Make Room to SmileSpacing & Gaps
Wide spaces between teeth can affect speech, gum health, and confidence. Braces or Spark Clear Aligners close gaps for a balanced, even smile.
Close the GapsAirway Orthodontics
Mouth breathing, snoring, and restless sleep in kids can signal a narrow airway. Airway-focused care widens the palate to help children breathe and rest better.
