Monitoring and Observation
Pittman Orthodontics offers complimentary initial Smile Assessments to new patients, which includes a full oral exam, review of dental and medical history, and the creation of a personalized treatment plan.
Braces
At Pittman Orthodontics, we utilize dental expanders as part of our comprehensive treatment offerings. Expanders are devices designed to widen the upper jaw and improve the fit of the upper and lower teeth. They are commonly used in children to take advantage of their ongoing growth and create more space for incoming teeth.
