Smiles That Grow With You
An early orthodontic consultation sets your child’s smile on the right track for healthy growth. That’s why Dr. White encourages families in Eagle Mountain to schedule a first visit around age seven.
During this visit, we’ll make sure your child feels at ease in our office while Dr. White checks for any developing concerns.
By catching potential issues early, Dr. White can guide jaw development, create space for permanent teeth, and often save your family time in treatment later on.
How Early Treatment Works
By age seven, your child’s mouth will already be showing important signs of growth — from jaw development to the arrival of permanent teeth.
That’s why Dr. White recommends an early evaluation at White Orthodontics in Eagle Mountain. These checkups help us plan and set your child up for a lifetime of healthy smiles.
Catching developing issues early means treatment can be simpler and more comfortable.
Laying the Foundation
After your child’s first exam, Dr. White may recommend beginning Phase 1 treatment to address early orthodontic concerns.
Phase 1 typically lasts 8–12 months and uses carefully chosen treatments to guide jaw growth and create space for incoming teeth. Once Phase 1 is complete, we’ll continue monitoring your child’s progress as their adult teeth erupt.
Visiting us regularly allows us to track changes and determine the right time for Phase 2, if needed.
Precision With Phase 2
Phase 2 treatment usually takes place between ages 11–14, once most of the adult teeth have arrived.
At this stage, Dr. White designs a personalized plan to align teeth, refine the bite, and create the confident smile your child deserves. Phase 2 puts the finishing touches on the foundation we’ve already built.
Benefits of Early Treatment
- Catch issues sooner. Identify bite problems, crowding, or spacing concerns before they turn into bigger challenges.
- Guide growing smiles. Help your child’s jaws develop in a healthy, balanced way while growth is still underway.
- Create room for new teeth. Ensure permanent teeth have the space they need to come in straight and healthy.
- Make future care easier. Get early treatment from Dr. White so later treatments will be simpler and more comfortable.
- Give confidence a boost. Shape a balanced smile that encourages your child to feel positive and self-assured as they grow.

- Crowded or missing teeth
- Premature or delayed loss of baby teeth

Guiding Your Teen to a Straighter Smile
Giving your teenager the gift of a healthy, confident smile is life-changing. The boost of self-esteem they’ll feel shows up everywhere.
At White Orthodontics, Dr. White takes responsibility for your teen’s smile. We style their treatment plan just for them, so that it’s easy and convenient for your family.
Customized Care
At White Orthodontics, Dr. White offers advanced treatment options designed to fit your teen’s needs, lifestyle, and activities.
He’ll help you choose the plan that delivers the brightest, most confident smile possible.
Metal & Clear Braces
For teens who need braces, Dr. White offers American Orthodontics metal braces, Damon metal braces, and LightForce clear braces.
Because these braces are customized, treatment often requires fewer adjustments and shorter overall timelines. That means
- Less time in the chair
- Less hassle for parents
- Results that look amazing
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners like Invisalign give teens the ability to straighten their teeth without the look of brackets or wires. They’re designed with features like eruption tabs for growing molars and blue wear indicators.
Aligners are removable, so your teen can still enjoy their favorite foods, play sports, and maintain simple brushing and flossing routines.
Plus, we include backup aligners in case a set gets lost — because life happens.

Never Too Late for a Straighter, Healthier Smile
Braces and aligners aren’t just for kids or teens. At White Orthodontics, we’re proud to offer discreet, effective treatments that work for adults, too!
Dr. White’s advanced training and technology will get you a personalized treatment plan that delivers beautiful, lasting results.
Reasons for Adult Orthodontics
Adult orthodontic treatment gives you all the confidence, health, and comfort that come with a well-balanced smile. Dr. White makes the process simple, effective, and tailored to your lifestyle.
Here are just a few reasons adults choose braces or aligners:
Looking Good, Feeling Good
If you’ve spent years feeling self-conscious about crooked teeth or gaps, orthodontic care can change that.
Dr. White designs treatments that not only improve alignment but also give you the confidence to smile more at work, with friends, and in every part of life.
Your Teeth Can Shift
Teeth don’t stay fixed in place after adolescence — they keep shifting over time.
That movement can even lead to jaw pain or make brushing harder. With Dr. White’s help, you can realign your smile, relieve stress on your bite, and enjoy lasting comfort.
Maintaining Dental Health
Misaligned teeth make oral health harder to maintain. Crooked or crowded teeth can trap food, increase your risk of decay or gum disease, and cause abnormal wear on your enamel.
Orthodontic treatment from White Orthodontics helps protect your teeth now and for years to come.
