We’ve been providing care since 1964, and our compassionate pediatric orthodontist is dedicated to helping every patient and using cutting-edge treatment methods.
Children’s Orthodontic Evaluations
It’s easier to treat orthodontic problems early in life—in fact, The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that all children receive an orthodontic evaluation by age seven. This allows our orthodontist to identify issues immediately and start preventive treatment to lower treatment severity and expenses.
We’ll check your child’s bite and jaw alignment during their evaluation and recommend any preventive measures. However, many parents find that their child doesn’t need treatment or that treatment can wait.
Signs Your Child May Need Treatment
If your child needs treatment, our pediatric orthodontist will use state-of-the-art orthodontic treatment options, including self-ligating Damon braces and traditional metal braces. You should bring your child to Ocean Blue Orthodontics for an evaluation if you notice any of the following:
- Crowded teeth
- Protruding teeth
- Thumb-sucking or finger-sucking past age three
- Difficulty biting or chewing
- Unevenly spaced teeth
- Mouth breathing
- Speech impediments
Early treatment may improve facial development and reduce or eliminate the need for adult braces, tooth extractions, or jaw surgery.

Hello, fellow parents. I don’t normally do this, but Dr. Weinberg & his office deserve the recognition. Initially, I went w/the place that took my insurance and was close, luckily I landed here. This doctor takes great pride in his work, treating my child with great care. Not only is he kind & patient, so is EVERYONE there. In the last 4.5 years its always been a pleasant experience not to mention my daughter's teeth are now picture perfect thanks to his expertise. She was a very complicated case to begin with and we’ll forever be grateful for his help.
