Phase 1 Orthodontics Pembroke Pines Kids Ages 6-10

As a mom in Pembroke Pines, I know how overwhelming it can feel spotting those first signs of crowding or a tricky bite in your little one's smile. That's why SMILE-FX Orthodontics in Miramar focuses on gentle Phase 1 orthodontics for ages 6-10, guiding growth without rush or worry.

Picture this: Your child from Pembroke Pines or nearby Silver Lakes Elementary playing freely, building confidence as their smile develops naturally. Families drive just 15-20 minutes from Pembroke Pines via Pines Blvd to our Miramar office—easy parking, pediatric-friendly slots around school pickups, and right off the turnpike for stress-free visits. (Imagine embedding a map here showing the quick route.)

Why Pembroke Pines Families Choose SMILE-FX for Phase 1
