Beautiful Smiles for Everyone Here at Cowan & Whitaker Orthodontics, we believe everyone should be able to get quality orthodontic care and a beautifully aligned smile. We’re proud to offer a full range of orthodontics for children, teens, and adults in Tuscaloosa. 01 Orthodontics for Children There’s no minimum age for your child to begin orthodontic treatment, but the American Association of Orthodontists recommends a child receive their first orthodontic evaluation by around the age of seven. By this time, your child should have a mix of baby teeth and permanent teeth. This makes it easier for orthodontists like Dr. Cowan to diagnose and correct tooth and jaw problems before they have the chance to become more severe. Early treatment now means a healthy, beautiful smile for the future.

You may be feeling nervous or worried when you think about beginning the process. But there’s no need to worry – bulky, uncomfortable metal braces are a thing of the past. Today’s braces are smaller, sleeker, and far more comfortable than ever before. They also come in a variety of styles, materials and colors.

Many adults are choosing to receive treatment later in life because they understand how important it is to maintain their oral health, they want to feel better about their overall appearance, or both.
