About Dr. Libby Thorpe
Learn How She Can Help Your Child
Sleep Disorders, Crowded Teeth, Behavioral Issues, Tongue and Lip Tie, Small Jaw
Orthodontic health is becoming more and more important. Studies have shown a strong link between orthodontic health and cognitive development in young kids.
Our jaws are shrinking, behavioral issues are on the rise, and sleep disorders are more and more common in young kids. These symptoms are not normal and could be signs of orthodontic and health issues.
Your child's jaw and facial development drive everything from proper breathing, to the position and alignment of their teeth. The toll of poor orthodontic development could be high.
The Good News: Early intervention and preventative therapies greatly improve the orthodontic health of your child and their cognitive development.
Let Dr. Libby show you how your child can reach their full potential.

Laser Therapy offers painless, non-invasive treatment for tongue-tie, fascial tension, and neural integration. It also helps with tissue healing, reducing pain and inflammation.

Clear Aligners allow us to further correct tooth position if needed. They are less noticeable and easier to care for than traditional metal braces.
