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.

Our Services & Treatment Options

Tongue Tie Release

A Tongue Tie restricts tongue movement. It can impair nursing, eating, breathing, speech and jaw growth. Correcting it can improve your child’s health.

ALF Orthodontics

Better than braces, ALF appliances gently align teeth and bones, enhancing facial growth and improving breathing and bite function.

Myofunctional Therapy

Myofunctional Therapy corrects improper tongue and mouth muscle use, improving swallowing, nasal breathing and facial growth.

Laser Therapy

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 Aligner Therapy

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

The Benefits Of Good Orthodontic Health

Better Sleep

Improving your child's breathing and reducing sleep interruption, your child can possibly get the proper rest they need to grow and develop in their daily lives.

Improved Behavior

Better sleep and proper breathing can lead to increased cognitive ability, improved focus, and improved all-around behavior.

Happy Lives

By building up your child's orthodontic foundation, it promotes their happiness. Proper breathing, sleep and cognitive function is key to living a happy life.
