Orthodontics for Children in St. Joseph & Maryville
Early Care That Makes a Difference
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children see an orthodontist by age seven. Most of the time, this first visit is simply about checking growth and keeping an eye on things.
At Noyce Orthodontics, we take a careful, low-pressure approach. Dr. Noyce will monitor your child’s growth over time and recommend treatment only if and when it’s truly needed.
Benefits of Early Orthodontic Treatment
If Dr. Noyce does recommend early treatment, it’s always based on what will truly benefit your child’s development. That might include guiding jaw growth, creating space for incoming teeth, or preventing more complex issues later on.
We’ll walk you through everything clearly so you understand your options and feel confident in your decision.
What Early Intervention Can Treat
Early orthodontic care can help guide your child’s smile as it develops. If certain concerns are present, Dr. Noyce may recommend treatment to prevent them from becoming more complex over time.
Common issues early treatment can address include:
Protruding Front Teeth
Front teeth that stick out may be more vulnerable to injury. Habits like thumb sucking or tongue pressure can also affect alignment over time.
Underbites & Overbites
An underbite occurs when the lower jaw sits in front of the upper jaw, while an overbite occurs when the upper jaw extends too far forward. Either condition can affect how your child bites, chews, and speaks.
Crossbites
A crossbite can cause the jaw to shift to one side, which may lead to uneven growth, tooth wear, or gum concerns if left untreated.
Crowding or Spacing Issues
Teeth that are too close together or too far apart can affect how your child’s smile develops. Early or late loss of baby teeth can contribute to these spacing concerns.

Orthodontics for Teens in St. Joseph & Maryville
Helping Teens Feel Confident in Their Smiles
A confident smile can make a big difference during the teen years. Orthodontic treatment at this stage allows Dr. Noyce to guide your teen’s smile as it develops, helping create lasting results.
With personalized treatment and flexible options, your teen can feel comfortable, confident, and supported every step of the way.
Personalized Treatment for Every Teen
Your teen has options when it comes to orthodontic treatment. From braces to clear aligners, Dr. Noyce works with you and your teen to choose an approach that fits their needs and lifestyle.
The goal is simple: effective treatment that works with their routine and keeps them comfortable along the way.
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners offer a nearly invisible way for teens to straighten their teeth. Each set is custom-made for a comfortable fit and can be removed for meals, brushing, and special activities.
Teen aligners may include built-in features that support developing teeth and help track wear time, making it easier to stay consistent and see results.
Custom Braces
Braces are a time-tested way to create a healthy, well-aligned smile. Today’s options are more comfortable and efficient, with treatment plans built specifically for your teen.
That means fewer adjustments, less hassle, and a process that’s easier to stay on track with.
