👧🧑 Why Age 7 is a Big Deal for Your Child's Smile

👉 Overjet: Upper teeth stick out forward (“buck teeth”)
👉 Overbite: Upper teeth cover too much of the lower teeth (“deep bite”)

https://burkeredfordorthodontists.com/overjet-vs-overbite/

These aren’t just cosmetic issues. Left untreated, they can lead to:

• Chipped or injured front teeth
• Speech and chewing difficulties
• Jaw pain or strain
• Worn teeth and gum damage
• Lower confidence during the teen years

The good news? 💙

Both overjets and overbites are highly treatable, especially when caught early.

At Burke & Redford Orthodontists, we’ve helped Inland Empire families in Riverside County correct these bite issues since 1991 using modern options like braces, Invisalign, and growth-guiding appliances designed specifically for children and teens.

🦷 Why timing matters

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an evaluation by age 7. Early screenings can:

✔️ Guide jaw growth
✔️ Prevent more serious problems later
✔️ Reduce treatment time and cost
✔️ Help kids feel confident sooner

✨ Your child’s orthodontic consultation is 100% FREE.
No pressure. No obligation. Just answers.

📞 Call our office Monday through Thursday (951) 699-8011

🖱️ Or request a consultation online through our website anytime.

Because a healthy bite today can mean a confident smile for life. 💙

🦷 Dentist vs. Orthodontist: What’s the Difference for Your Child? 👧👦

If your child has crooked teeth, crowding, or bite issues, who you choose matters more than most parents realize.

✔️ All orthodontists are dentists
❌ Not all dentists are orthodontists

Orthodontists complete 2–3 additional years of specialized training focused only on straightening teeth and correcting jaw alignment. That extra education can make a big difference in your child’s long-term smile, comfort, and confidence.

At Burke & Redford Orthodontists, your child is treated by board-certified orthodontists with over 35 years of combined experience, including pediatric orthodontic expertise. This means we don’t just straighten teeth—we guide healthy jaw growth, prevent future problems, and create smiles that last.

👶 Did you know?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends children be evaluated by age 7. Early screenings can catch issues before they become bigger, more expensive problems later.

✨ The best part?
Your child’s orthodontic consultation is 100% FREE.

🦷 Invisalign or Braces for Your Teen? Here's What Parents Need to Know.

Helping your teen choose between removable and fixed braces? It's not just about appearance. It's about finding what works best for your child's lifestyle and personality.

Here's the honest truth:

✨ Removable (Invisalign) is nearly invisible, has no food restrictions, and makes brushing easy. But here's the catch: your teen needs to wear them 20 to 22 hours every single day. If your teen tends to lose things or forget responsibilities, this could slow down their treatment.

💪 Fixed braces work around the clock without any effort. They're ideal for more complex cases and for teens who don't want to worry about keeping track of aligners. Plus, there are clear and tooth-colored options that are way more subtle than the metal braces you remember.

The best choice depends on your teen's specific needs, maturity level, and orthodontic goals. That's exactly what we help families figure out every day.

Burke & Redford Orthodontists has been guiding Inland Empire families since 1991. Schedule a free consultation for your child or teen at our Temecula or Lake Elsinore office and get honest advice about what treatment will work best for them.

📞 Free consultations available at both locations!

Is your teen ready for a confident smile? 😁

The teenage years are actually the perfect time for braces. Their jaws are still growing, which means teeth move more easily and treatment is often faster.

Did You Know: 4 out of 5 teens will need braces at some point. If your child is one of them, let's talk.

At Burke & Redford Orthodontists, Dr. Redford and Dr. Burke offer today's teens options that didn't exist 20 years ago:

✓ Ceramic braces that blend with natural tooth color
✓ Invisalign Teen for those who want a nearly invisible option
✓ Damon braces for faster, more comfortable treatment

We know every teen is different. Some want their braces to be invisible. Others pick fun colors. Some play sports or instruments. We customize every treatment plan to fit their life.

Your first consultation is completely free.

We'll take a look, answer all your questions, and give you a clear picture of what treatment would involve. No pressure, just honest information.

🎯 Invisible Braces Options in Temecula and Lake Elsinore

If you want a straighter smile without traditional metal braces showing when you talk or laugh, you probably have questions about your invisible options.

One of the choices you may have heard about is lingual braces, which are placed behind the teeth so they are hidden when you smile or speak. These work like traditional braces and shift your teeth into place using brackets and wires bonded on the inside.

Another discreet option many teens and adults choose is ceramic braces, also called clear braces. These braces are made with tooth-colored or transparent brackets that blend in with your natural smile while still giving the strength and control of traditional braces.

Clear aligners like Invisalign are a popular removable choice that many people find comfortable and convenient for everyday life. Each of these options has strengths and things to consider depending on your lifestyle, goals, and how your teeth and bite need to move.

At Burke & Redford Orthodontists, Dr. Ryan Redford offers a free consultation to help you explore all of these invisible braces options and find out which one fits your smile goals best. Just bring your questions and goals, and we’ll help you understand what’s possible for your smile.

👉 Call our office to schedule your free consultation or fill out the confidential form on our website anytime.

✨ Is Your Child Ready for Their First Orthodontic Checkup? ✨

Many parents think braces are only for teens — but did you know the American Association of Orthodontists recommends an initial screening by age 7?

At Burke & Redford Orthodontists, Dr. Ryan Redford helps young patients in Temecula and Lake Elsinore get a healthy start with early, gentle orthodontic care.

👧 Early (Phase I) treatment, also known as interceptive orthodontics, can:

✅ Correct developing bite and jaw issues
✅ Create space for permanent teeth
✅ Prevent future complications — meaning shorter, easier treatment later!

Most kids won’t need braces right away, but that first visit is key for spotting potential issues early and giving your child a confident, healthy smile that lasts.

📅 Give your child’s smile a head start! Schedule their first orthodontic evaluation today with Dr. Ryan Redford.

Are you wondering what those orthodontic appliances really do for your kids & teens?

Ever wonder why some kids wear an appliance before braces...or in addition to them? At Burke & Redford Orthodontists, we believe understanding each step helps parents feel confident in their child’s orthodontic journey.

As you can see on our Orthodontic Appliances FAQs page, you’ll learn how each one helps:

✅ Lower Lingual Holding Arch: helps preserve space so adult teeth can come in properly

✅ Nance Arch: helps maintain upper space, often after molars are moved back

✅ Banded vs Bonded Expander: gently widens the upper jaw or upper dental arch

✅ Quad-Helix: mild expansion or helps hold expansion results

✅ Pendulum Appliance: creates space and helps correct certain bite patterns

✅ Herbst Appliance and Carriere Distalizer: helps correct overbite in growing kids and teens

✅ Habit Appliance: helps stop thumb or finger sucking that can affect a child’s bite

Whether it’s a Lower Lingual Holding Arch that preserves space for coming adult teeth, a Palatal Expander to gently widen a narrow upper jaw, a Habit Appliance to help stop harmful thumb-sucking habits, or a Herbst Appliance to correct an overbite in a growing teen, each orthodontic appliance has a specific purpose.

Dr. Ryan Redford and Dr. Michael Burke design treatment plans based on your child’s unique needs so that growth, development, and future results are optimized. We’re here to guide you and your child through every step.

Parents: Does Your Child’s Bite Look “Off” When They Smile or Chew?

If your child’s top teeth are biting inside the bottom teeth, that cute little “quirk” could actually be a crossbite. Left untreated, a crossbite can affect jaw growth, wear down teeth faster, and make chewing and speaking harder as your child becomes a teen.

The good news is that kids’ jaws are still growing, which makes this the perfect time to gently guide things into place instead of waiting for bigger problems later.

At Burke & Redford Orthodontists, Dr. Ryan Redford focuses on early crossbite treatment for children and teens. Using kid friendly options like palatal expanders, metal braces, and clear aligners, he creates a personalized plan that helps protect your child’s bite, smile, and confidence for years to come.

If you have even a small worry about your child’s bite, do not “wait and see.”

📅 Request a complimentary orthodontic consultation with Dr. Redford in Temecula or Lake Elsinore today by calling Monday through Thursday or fill out the confidential form on our website anytime. Get clear answers about your child’s crossbite and treatment options.
