Frequently Asked Questions

Whether you’re starting treatment for yourself or your child, it’s normal to have questions. Here are some of the topics patients in Dalhart and the surrounding Panhandle communities ask most often.

How early should my child be evaluated for orthodontic needs?

We recommend an initial evaluation around age 7. This allows us to monitor development and step in at the right time, sometimes treatment is needed early, and other times kids simply need periodic observation as they grow.

Definitely. Many adults in Dalhart choose clear aligners because they offer a subtle, flexible way to straighten teeth. After your consultation, we’ll help determine whether aligners or another option best fits your goals.

In many cases, yes. Correcting alignment can improve biting, chewing, and even jaw comfort. We’ll evaluate your bite and discuss whether orthodontic treatment can help address the issues you’re experiencing.
