Revolutionary Space Creation for Growing Smiles
One of the most common challenges in pediatric orthodontics is insufficient space for all of your child’s permanent teeth to erupt properly. When the upper jaw is too narrow, it can lead to crowding, impacted teeth, crossbites, and other serious orthodontic problems that become more complex and expensive to treat as your child grows older. That’s why Dr. Chad B Carter is proud to offer the Invisalign Palatal Expander System, a groundbreaking approach to palatal expansion that makes the process comfortable, effective, and positive for children ages 6-11.
When the upper jaw is too narrow, it can cause a variety of problems including:

Conditions Treated with Invisalign
More Than Straight Teeth – We're Building Confident Lives
Crowding
Dental crowding occurs when there isn't enough space in the jaw for all teeth to fit properly. This can lead to overlapping, twisted, or displaced teeth that are difficult to clean and may contribute to dental problems. Dr. Carter's expertise in complex case management allows him to treat even severe crowding cases with Invisalign.
Spacing
Gaps between teeth can occur due to missing teeth, small teeth, or jaw size discrepancies. While some patients like small gaps, larger spaces can trap food, affect speech, and impact smile aesthetics. Invisalign can effectively close unwanted spaces while maintaining proper tooth proportions.
Overbite
An overbite occurs when the upper teeth significantly overlap the lower teeth. While a small overbite is normal, excessive overbite can cause wear on the lower teeth, jaw problems, and aesthetic concerns. Dr. Carter's understanding of facial growth patterns allows him to address overbites effectively with Invisalign.
