Children's Orthodontist
At Belmont Smiles, we offer children's orthodontics to patients throughout the Belmont area. As a professional orthodontist office, we can help your child have a beautiful smile and improve their overall health. Straight teeth reduce the risk for cavities and other oral infections, eliminating the risk of food being caught between teeth.
Whether you are concerned with the health of your child’s teeth or their appearance, we can help. We invite you to schedule a consultation by calling (617) 608-2108. During the initial exam, we can identify any challenges that your child is having with his or her teeth and bite. Next, we can make recommendations for the best way to correct them. As a children's orthodontist, we offer multiple treatment options and may start with an expander, instead of going straight to braces. Depending on the child’s age, this can be a good initial solution. Parents throughout the local area, often appreciate that their child can start receiving treatments even before all of the child’s adult teeth have come in. Dr. Athanasiou can determine whether or not your child qualifies for braces. If your child does not qualify for braces, Dr. Athanasiou will make a recommendation for when the best time for braces will be.
We offer family orthodontics so that everyone in the family can receive care from the same orthodontist office. This is both convenient and practical. If you are interested in learning about the options for straightening you and your child's teeth, call 617-608-2108 to schedule an appointment with Dr. Athanasiou. At Belmont Smiles, we are friendly, personable and understanding. We will work with you to schedule appointment times around your busy schedule. We understand that between work, school and extracurricular activities, it can be difficult to make time for visiting the orthodontist. Our flexibility makes it possible for you and your children to receive the necessary treatment for a perfect smile. We provide family orthodontics, so you can further benefit from the convenience of scheduling appointments at the same time as your child. This way, you only have to visit our office once, instead of making multiple trips.
Patients throughout the local area visit our orthodontist office because we offer multiple solutions for straightening teeth. Even with alternative technological advancements in orthodontics, 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 as well. 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 Belmont enjoy how convenient this treatment method is. For more information on braces or aligners, call (617) 608-2108 to schedule a consultation with our family orthodontics office.

At Belmont Smiles, we are an 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 Belmont area and want to help your child by improving his or her teeth, we recommend 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, crossbite or a crooked smile. This can both negatively impact their appearance, as well as make it uncomfortable to eat, speak and even sleep. Dr. Athanasiou can correct all of these issues with orthodontics treatments.
During the 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 your child’s bite is off, Dr. Athanasiou will make a recommendation for how to correct it. Fortunately, we can correct your child’s bite while he or she is wearing braces. This may include using headgear or rubber bands. Both are typically worn temporarily as part of the orthodontics treatment. As a kids' orthodontist, we can tell you what to expect in terms of treatment time and how long your child may need to use these additional solutions. At Belmont Smiles, our staff is highly trained and knows how to help your child straighten his or her teeth effectively and comfortably. To learn more or to schedule a consultation call 617-608-2108.
