Orthodontics for Red Bank Kids and Teens

The right time for a first orthodontic evaluation is age seven, which for most Red Bank families lands somewhere in the middle of elementary school — years before anyone is thinking about braces.

That is deliberate. At seven, enough permanent teeth have come in for a specialist to see how the jaws are relating and whether there will be room for the teeth still to come. Most children need nothing but a yearly check. For the few who do need early treatment, that is the window when a crossbite or a narrow arch is still simple to correct.

Dr. Christine Esposito is board-certified, the evaluation is free, and it happens up South Lake Drive at the office your family already uses.

Special needs and tongue-tie care for Red Bank families

We also plan visits around children with autism, sensory sensitivities or developmental delays, and we evaluate and treat tongue and lip ties (frenectomy) for babies and kids. Ask about either when you call our Lexington office, and we will set up the visit around your child.

Red Bank Family FAQ

Dr. Kathi and her staff are amazing. Not only do they know all 4 of my children by name, they also know their personalities and relate to each one differently each visit. On a closed day I needed a prescription for one of my kids, Dr. Kathi immediately called it in and even gave me her cell phone number to contact her directly in case I needed anything else during the weekend. Love these ladies!!!!

Verified Patient|Sunset Children’s Dentistry Family

We love Dr. Kathi and her staff! Today my son had a procedure done. The staff were very thorough regarding what to expect, the amount I would owe upfront and answered all questions. We were in and out in a timely manner.
