Why Your Child Deserves the Best Pediatric Orthodontist
At Sosebee and Britt Orthodontics, we understand that every child is unique, and their orthodontic care should be too. Our experienced team, led by Dr. Sosebee, Dr. Britt, and Dr. Brown has been transforming young smiles in Gainesville and Oakwood, GA, creating not just straighter teeth, but brighter futures.
What Makes a Pediatric Orthodontist Different?
You might wonder, “Can’t any orthodontist treat my child?” While general orthodontists are certainly qualified, a pediatric orthodontist brings something special to the table—they understand the unique physical and emotional needs of growing children.
Children’s mouths are constantly changing. Their jaws are growing, baby teeth are falling out, and permanent teeth are emerging. A skilled pediatric orthodontist knows exactly when to intervene and when to wait, ensuring your child gets treatment at the optimal time for the best results.
Why Parents Trust Dr. Sosebee, Dr. Britt, and Dr. Brown
Dr. Glenn Sosebee brings over 20 years of orthodontic expertise to every young patient he treats. As a Gainesville native himself, Dr. Sosebee understands the importance of building lasting relationships with families in the community. Since 1995, he’s been helping children and teens achieve the smiles of their dreams while making the process as comfortable as possible.
Dr. T. Todd Britt has been crafting beautiful smiles since 2000, and his passion for pediatric orthodontics shines through in everything he does. Dr. Britt is deeply committed to the local community, actively contributing to children’s dental health initiatives in Hall County. When you choose Dr. Britt as your child’s orthodontist, you’re choosing someone who truly cares about your child’s well-being both inside and outside the office.
Dr. Brown rounds out our exceptional team, bringing additional expertise and a fresh perspective to pediatric orthodontic care. Together, these three doctors ensure that every child receives personalized attention and the highest standard of care.
The Sosebee and Britt Orthodontics Difference for Kids
1. A Kid-Friendly Environment
Walking into our office, your child won’t feel like they’re entering a sterile medical facility. We’ve created a warm, welcoming space where children feel comfortable and at ease. Our friendly staff knows how to connect with kids of all ages, turning what could be an anxious experience into something positive.
2. Cutting-Edge Technology Made Simple
We use the latest orthodontic technology, but we explain everything in terms your child can understand. Our SmartClip™ Braces system minimizes discomfort and reduces treatment time—which means fewer appointments and less time away from the activities your child loves.
For teens who are self-conscious about traditional braces, our Invisalign® clear aligners offer a virtually invisible solution. As a trusted pediatric orthodontist practice, we help families choose the treatment option that best fits their child’s lifestyle and personality.
3. Timing is Everything
One of the biggest advantages of working with an experienced pediatric orthodontist is knowing when to start treatment. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children have their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. This doesn’t mean your child will need braces immediately, but early evaluation allows us to monitor development and catch potential issues before they become major problems.
Signs Your Child Might Need a Pediatric Orthodontist
As a parent, you might wonder when it’s time to consider orthodontic treatment. Here are some signs that it might be time to schedule a consultation with a pediatric orthodontist:
- Difficulty chewing or biting
- Breathing through the mouth
- Thumb sucking beyond age 5
- Crowded, crooked, or blocked teeth
- Jaws that shift or make sounds
- Early or late loss of baby teeth
- Jaws and teeth that don’t seem proportional to the face
Remember, many orthodontic issues are easier to correct when caught early, which is why having a trusted pediatric orthodontist evaluate your child’s development is so important.
The Investment in Your Child’s Future
Choosing orthodontic treatment for your child is an investment in their future confidence, health, and success. Straight teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease later in life. But perhaps more importantly, a beautiful smile can boost your child’s self-esteem during those crucial formative years.
At Sosebee and Britt Orthodontics, we work with families to make treatment affordable and convenient. We offer flexible payment plans and work with most insurance providers to maximize your benefits.
