Patients throughout the 95207 area, visit our orthodontist office because we offer multiple solutions for straightening teeth. Traditional metal braces are still an effective way to transform smiles. The metal brackets and wires are smaller than they used to be so many adults that wore braces as a child are surprised by how easy they are to wear now. This is still the preferred treatment method for children, but adults can benefit from wearing aligners instead. Clear aligners are an effective way to straighten teeth without anyone noticing that you are doing so. They are a clear plastic tray that is worn all day and taken out only to eat and brush teeth. Patients throughout Stockton enjoy how convenient this treatment method is.

Pediatric Orthodontics
We offer pediatric orthodontics to patients throughout Stockton California. This is a unique specialty that requires at least two years of training beyond dental school. Dr. Suliman is an experienced in treating young children and helping to prepare their mouth for their adult teeth to come in. While young, many children lose their baby teeth too early. This creates overcrowding problems so that as adult teeth come in, they do so on top of other teeth and may start to push teeth out of place. This is a common problem that can often occur around seven or eight. As it does, many parents seek pediatric orthodontic treatments. At this age, they are typically too young to start wearing braces. Until more of their adult teeth have come in, you don’t want to have them wear braces because the treatment time will simply be prolonged. Instead, at Suliman Orthodontics we frequently suggest that a young child wear an expander in order to gently push their palate outwards and make room for their adult teeth to come in. They may also benefit from wearing spacers around certain teeth. Through a combination of treatments, Dr. Suliman will ensure that your child has room for their teeth and that their mouth is prepared to wear braces in the future.
If you are concerned about how your child’s teeth are coming in, the best thing to do is to schedule a consultation. Dr. Suliman can examine their teeth and provide more information about pediatric orthodontics and what their options may be.

At Suliman Orthodontics, we are a kids’ orthodontist that can straighten your child’s teeth and improve their appearance. As children age, it can become difficult to live with a crooked smile. This is especially true as they enter their teenage years. If you live in the Stockton area and what to help your child by improving their appearance, we recommend that you consider braces. Modern braces are an effective way for straightening teeth and aligning your child’s bite. In many cases, children suffer from an overbite, underbite, or crossbite in addition to a crooked smile. This can both negatively impact their appearance and make it uncomfortable to eat, speak and even sleep. Dr. Suliman can correct all of these issues with orthodontics treatments.
During your initial consultation, we will examine your child’s teeth and take X-Rays in order to determine what their challenges are and the best way to correct them. If their bite is off, Dr. Suliman will make a recommendation for how to correct it while they are wearing braces. This may include using headgear or rubber bands. Both are typically worn temporarily as part of the orthodontic treatment.
