Blast off to confidence!
Every kid deserves a head start on a great smile. The Space City Orthodontics Rising Star program gives kids ages 7-plus exactly that—and much more!
Book NowWhen should my child see an orthodontist?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that parents schedule their child’s first orthodontic visit by age 7. It’s around this time that their little smiles have a mix of baby and permanent teeth, and because their jaws are still developing, it’s important to monitor how adult teeth come in.
Without growth monitoring, crowding and other potential problems may make orthodontic treatment more challenging later in life.
What is Orthodontic Growth Monitoring?
As your little one grows, your Space City Orthodontics doctor team can help watch for orthodontic issues before they become more serious, making the work of orthodontics in their later years a lot easier. For example, we’ll monitor:
- Potential cross-bite and open bite development
- Obstructive breathing issues—is your child a mouth breather?
- Position of baby and permanent teeth
- Dental overcrowding or spacing which could hinder or affect permanent tooth development or position
- How permanent teeth come in
- Teeth at risk for injury or decay due to protrusion or overcrowding
- Harmful habits that may cause orthodontic problems (thumb sucking)
- Oral hygiene and overall dental health
- A balanced facial appearance

The friendliness of EACH staff member brought much comfort, and a smooth process. Ms. Kelly is extraordinary and very professional. Thank you all so much for your assistance and my son and I look forward to our upcoming visits.
We have had a wonderful experience at Space City Orthodontics. The staff are all so kind, from the front desk to the back. My son has had a small issue with his teeth slightly shifting after getting his braces off and everyone has been great trying to get this issue resolved, especially Nicole. She even met me at a location closer to my house to deliver a new retainer, so I wouldn't have to drive all the way to the office. Now that is amazing customer service!
Exceptional staff keeping us well informed throughout the consultation and evaluation process for my son’s phase 1 treatment. I want to give a big shoutout to Nicole, the practice director, who also called us to see if we needed help with understanding the plan, had any questions or needed help going over finances and options, she really blessed me with her care and help, and this helped solidify our decision to go with Space City for our boys care. I highly recommend them!
Wonderful experience from the first consultation through today's celebration of removing my daughter's braces.

What is Early Orthodontic Treatment?
Although early orthodontic treatment — also called Phase I treatment — isn’t included with our free growth monitoring program, it may prevent or intercept more serious problems from developing and may make treatment at a later age shorter and less complicated.
In some cases, the Nowlin Orthodontics team will be able to achieve results that may not be possible once the face and jaws have finished growing. Early treatment can give us the chance to:
- Align jaw growth
- Lower the risk of trauma to protruded front teeth
- Correct harmful oral habits
- Improve appearance and self-esteem
- Avoid extractions of permanent teeth
- Correct teeth that meet in an abnormal way or don’t meet at all

How Does Orthodontic Treatment Work?
Orthodontic therapies at Space City Orthodontics will begin with a private consultation with Dr. Bhagia. He will inspect your teeth, review your treatment objectives, and create impressions of your teeth. Then Dr. Bhagia will go over the possible care opportunities and which one will best meet your needs. Once your treatment plan is crafted, Dr. Bhagia will plan your appointment to obtain your braces. If you have decided to go with clear aligners, the impressions are utilized to build your initial set of trays. Dr. Bhagia will arrange routine follow-up evaluations to check your journey and make alterations.
