Orthodontic Care for the Whole Family

A More Convenient Way

When you have a child in braces, it can feel like you’re a taxi service. Multiply that by two or three kids, and it can feel like a part time job.

We know the teen years are particularly busy for parents and it’s why our certified orthodontic specialists chose to craft an integrated experience that combines state-of-the-art orthodontic services with pediatric dentists and pediatricians in one location. It’s also why we offer dental braces and Invisalign to adults as well. If you’re already bringing in your kids, it’s the perfect time to give your smile the upgrade you’ve always wanted.

Your child gets expert care from the team they’ve come to know, and you spend less time running around.

Braces

There is no one-size-fits-all braces solution. That’s why every orthodontic adventure begins with a personal consultation to develop the best treatment plan—for you, your child, or teen.

Invisalign

Invisalign is an exciting alternative to classic braces and particularly appealing for adults. It’s an orthodontist-guided treatment that can work to straighten many types of smiles without wires or traditional braces.

Parent Feedback

We have been taking our kids to Families First since our son was a newborn 3 years ago, and had them visit us at the hospital for the actual newborn check in the day my daughter was born. Their primary provider is Megan McDowell but all the providers we have seen for sick visits have been great. We love that we are able to text for an appointment and we also use families first dental and they are amazing! I always recommend them to all our family and friends

More Than Cosmetic

Correcting a smile and aligning a bite are more than cosmetic concerns. They set your child up for a lifetime of confident smiles, well-positioned teeth, and good oral health.

When teeth no longer overlap or become crowded, many common dental complaints—like cavities, jaw pain, bite pain, and infections—can be avoided.
