At Timber Orthodontics, we provide expert orthodontic care in Bend for children, teens, and adults. Orthodontics isn’t just about looks; straight teeth support better oral health, clearer speech, easier chewing, and greater comfort. Misaligned teeth can lead to uneven wear, jaw pain, difficulty cleaning, and a higher risk of cavities and gum disease. Our treatments, like braces and clear aligners, help guide teeth into proper alignment, improving bite function and overall dental health. Whether your child needs early intervention, your teen needs support, or you’re ready for a confident, straighter smile, we’re here to help.
Contact us today to schedule your orthodontic consultation in Bend.
We’re proud to offer free orthodontic consultations for all patients. You’ll receive a professional assessment and honest advice to ensure your treatment is the right fit for your smile and overall health.
As recommended by the American Association of Orthodontists, kids should have their first orthodontic checkup by age 7. Early evaluation helps catch issues early and set the stage for smoother, more effective treatment. We’re excited to provide all patients with a free orthodontics consultation so we can provide an expert assessment with honest advice. It's important to ensure your desired treatment is the right fit for you and your smile.

This is often one of the first warning signs that your child has oral development issues. The first baby teeth fall out around the age of 6, and they should continue to fall out and be replaced with adult teeth until the age of 12-13. If your dentist has noticed irregularities in your child’s baby tooth loss, they may need orthodontic treatment.
If your child seems to have a lot of trouble chewing, biting, and swallowing properly, this could indicate oral development problems and bite issues. Pain and discomfort when chewing and biting are also causes for concern.
If you can see that your child has cramped, crowded teeth, misaligned teeth, or crooked teeth, they will likely need orthodontic treatment to improve their smile and ensure their bite is healthy.
Invisalign is an alternative to braces for teenagers and young adults. Instead of using brackets, wires, and elastics to move the teeth, Invisalign uses clear plastic “aligners,” that look similar to a night guard or a retainer.
By switching through a series of Invisalign aligners, your child’s teeth can be moved into the proper position, just like braces. And, unlike braces, Invisalign is invisible when worn. It also is removable, so your teen can eat their normal diet and remove their aligners to brush and floss.
However, Invisalign may not be right for all patients. To find out if Invisalign is a good option for your teen, contact Timber Kids Dentistry & Orthodontics to schedule an appointment at our Bend office.
