Orthodontics For Children

Early Intervention for Healthy Development
Did you know that the American Association of Orthodontists recommends children have their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7? Dr. Ora Canter's specialized training at Stony Brook University's selective orthodontic program has equipped her with the expertise to identify potential issues early, when they're often easier to correct.
Our Child-Friendly Approach
Our Forest Hills office is designed to make children feel comfortable and at ease. Dr. Canter's gentle chairside manner helps young patients feel safe while receiving the highest quality care. We explain procedures in age-appropriate ways and celebrate milestones in their orthodontic journey.
Creating Positive Dental Experiences
Dr. Canter believes that positive early experiences with orthodontics set the stage for a lifetime of good oral health. Her warm, approachable manner helps children understand the importance of their treatment while making the process enjoyable.
