The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that a child receives his or her first orthodontic screening by age 7. By starting treatment early, we are able to recognize potential problems and correct them before they become more serious. This will save you and your child time and money by preventing future problems before they begin.
Early interceptive orthodontic treatment has proven to be beneficial for the overall desired result. Because a young child's permanent teeth have not finished erupting, we are able to thoroughly evaluate and address any impending problems at the earliest stage.
During your child's initial evaluation, we will first determine if there are any problems that need to be addressed, such as potential crowding, open bite, overbite or gummy smiles. The Phase I treatment plan can include preventive, interceptive or modifying treatment. Orthodontic appliances may be placed to prevent a problem from occurring, correct a current problem or help direct jawbone growth. Multiple problems with tooth alignment, gums, jaws and facial problems can be corrected with Phase I treatment.

I came here 8-9 years ago for traditional braces. My parents and I loved him from the start. He was the only person we went to. I ended up getting into show business and getting vineers but he made my smile perfect beforehand. I will be going back to pay a visit.

I have many friends who are looking for a great place to get braces and I have recommended Dr. Christensen. I have yet to see my results because I actually get my braces off tomorrow. Knowing it took less time than he recommended it would take, even with the set backs he still did perfect.

Fantastic orthodontist. The staff is efficient and there is always a short wait time. He encouraged me to wait to have my daughter get braces rather than starting before her teeth were ready. Now that she is in braces we have been very happy with the services.

We love Dr. Christensen! He has done three of my kids braces now. He is such a good orthodontist!! He is especially good with my son who has severe anxiety. He helped him feel comfortable with getting his braces on. Thank you!

I took my daughter to get several opinions on what needed to be done to her teeth and everyone wanted to take from 2-4 teeth out and then fix her teeth with braces. Dr. Christensen from the beginning told me he would do everything possible to NOT take any teeth out. He considered what her face would look like not just now but in the future when she would get older. She is suppose to get her braces off in August and her teeth and smile look amazing already. He did an amazing job!
