At Nantz Orthodontics, we specialize in creating a positive orthodontic experience for kids and teens. While we love our adult patients too, we take extra care to genuinely relate to our younger patients, helping them feel comfortable, understood, and confident every step of the way. Whether it’s braces, clear aligners, or just routine check-ins, we make sure your child knows exactly what to expect and feels supported throughout their treatment. Our goal is to make orthodontics as seamless and stress-free as possible — all while delivering incredible results.
Dr. Nantz follows the American Association of Orthodontists’ recommendation that children have their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. Many times, kids this age don’t need treatment right away, and that’s great! In those cases, we welcome them into our observation program, where we’ll monitor their growth and development with no pressure or rush. But in some instances, early detection of bite issues, crowding, or jaw development concerns allows us to intervene at just the right moment with targeted treatment. It’s a gentle approach that can prevent bigger issues later — often followed by a break to let nature do its thing.
Most comprehensive orthodontic treatment happens during the teen years, when the face and jaw are still growing and teeth can be guided into their ideal positions. This is the perfect time to create long-lasting, confident smiles that kids can carry into adulthood. Our team combines advanced technology with personalized care to make sure your teen feels heard, seen, and supported at every visit.
At Nantz Orthodontics, it’s not just about straight teeth — it’s about making every young patient feel like the star of their own smile story.
Seamless, state-of-the-art orthodontic treatment focused on you.
