Phase 1 Orthodontics Pembroke Pines Ages 6-10

As a mom in Pembroke Pines, I know how overwhelming it can feel spotting those first signs your little one might need early orthodontic help. At SMILE-FX Orthodontics, we've made Phase 1 treatment a gentle, game-changing step for kids ages 6-10, guiding their smiles toward a stronger future without any rush or worry.

Picture this: your child playing at Kenwood K-8 Center or chasing siblings around Pembroke Pines Charter parks, with a bite that's just starting to shift. That's where Phase 1 orthodontics shines—catching issues like crowding or crossbites early, per American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) guidance, to make comprehensive treatment later shorter and simpler. Families from Pembroke Pines drive just 10-15 minutes down Pines Blvd to our Miramar location, worth every second for board-certified specialists who are the #1 trusted partner of pediatric dentists in South Florida.

Why Pembroke Pines Families Choose SMILE-FX for Phase 1

Pediatric expertise: Only experienced board-certified orthodontists—no general dentists cutting corners.
Convenience: Flexible scheduling around school pickups, just a quick hop from I-75.
Kid-approved comfort: VIP suites with TV shows, games, VR distractions, weighted blankets, and noise-canceling headphones.
