Yes. Griffin Orthodontics treats patients of all ages – children, teens, and adults – at our West Allis and Oak Creek offices. For children, we offer early evaluations (usually around age 7) and treatments like palatal expanders or early-phase braces to guide jaw growth and make future corrections easier. Teens can get traditional braces (with options like clear or LightForce braces) or clear aligners like Spark for a nearly invisible option during high school years. Adults are also welcome – it’s never too late to improve your smile, and we provide discreet treatment choices such as ceramic braces or Spark Clear Aligners to fit adults’ lifestyles. Our team personalizes treatment plans for each age group to ensure the best results and a comfortable experience.

Your child may need a palatal expander to correct various orthodontic issues, including:
Palatal expanders are most effective when used during childhood, before the upper jaw bones fuse completely. Palatal expanders play a crucial role in early orthodontic intervention, addressing both functional and aesthetic concerns in growing children. By gradually widening the upper jaw, these devices create the necessary space for proper tooth alignment and bite correction. This proactive approach can significantly reduce the complexity and duration of future orthodontic treatments, potentially saving time and costs in the long run. Additionally, palatal expansion can have positive effects on a child’s overall facial development, breathing patterns, and even speech clarity. While the prospect of using an orthodontic appliance may seem daunting, the long-term benefits of palatal expanders often outweigh any temporary discomfort, setting the foundation for a healthy, well-aligned smile that will last a lifetime
Benefits include improved patient comfort, increased accuracy, faster scan times, and the ability to visualize potential treatment outcomes, especially for Invisalign treatments.
The duration depends on the complexity of the case and the type of treatment chosen. On average, treatment lasts between 18 and 36 months. Your top rated orthodontist will provide a personalized timeline during the initial consultation.
LightForce ensures the accuracy of their 3D-printed brackets through a combination of advanced digital technology and precise manufacturing processes. The process begins with a detailed digital scan of the patient’s teeth, which is used to create a comprehensive 3D model. This model allows for the design of custom brackets tailored to the unique anatomy of each tooth. The LightForce system uses Digital Light Processing (DLP) technology to produce these brackets with high precision, achieving placement accuracy within one-thousandth of a millimeter. Additionally, LightForce’s LightPlan software facilitates precise treatment planning, ensuring that the brackets are positioned exactly as needed for optimal tooth movement
