  • Orthodontist FAQs South San Francisco | Chompers

    Chompers Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics answers orthodontist FAQs in South San Francisco about braces, Invisalign, and treatment timing. Back to Orthodontic Services Orthodontic FAQs Considering braces or Invisalign? You’ve got questions—and we’ve got answers. Whether you’re a parent planning treatment for your child or an adult exploring options for yourself, our orthodontic team is here to guide you every step of the way. Schedule Appointment What’s the right age for my child to see the orthodontist? The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an initial evaluation by age 7. This doesn’t always mean starting treatment right away—early visits help us monitor jaw growth, tooth eruption, and spot any issues while they’re still easy to manage. Sometimes, a pediatric dentist may refer a child even earlier than age 7 if they notice something that needs evaluation, such as a crossbite, thumb-sucking habit, or delayed tooth eruption. We’re happy to assess younger children when needed. Some children benefit from early intervention, while others are simply placed on a watch-and-wait plan. Do you treat teens and adults too? Yes! While many of our orthodontic patients are kids and teens, we also see adults of all ages looking to improve their smile or address bite issues. Whether it’s your first time or you’re revisiting orthodontics, we’ll create a plan that fits your lifestyle and goals. Do you offer Invisalign? Absolutely. In fact, Invisalign is often our preferred treatment option—especially for teens and adults who want a more discreet alternative to braces. It’s comfortable, removable, and fits easily into busy routines. We’ll let you know if you or your child is a good candidate during your consultation. What’s the difference between early orthodontic treatment and full braces? Early treatment (Phase 1) usually starts between ages 7–10 and focuses on guiding jaw growth, creating space, or correcting harmful habits. Full treatment (Phase 2) happens later—usually in the teen years—when all permanent teeth are in. Not every child needs early treatment, but it can make full treatment faster and simpler if done at the right time. How long does orthodontic treatment take? It depends on the case, but most treatments last 12–24 months. Some early interventions may be shorter, while more complex corrections can take a little longer. We’ll give you a personalized timeline after your exam. Do you offer payment plans? Yes—we believe orthodontic care should be accessible for every family. We offer flexible, interest-free payment plans and will help you make the most of any insurance or HSA/FSA benefits you have. Is Invisalign more expensive than braces? Not at our office! We charge the same price for Invisalign as we do for traditional braces, unlike many practices that charge extra for clear aligners. We believe you shouldn’t have to pay more for a treatment that fits your lifestyle. During your consultation, we’ll walk you through all your options and give you a transparent breakdown—no surprises. How do I know if my child really needs braces? Some signs include: - Crowded or crooked teeth - Early or late loss of baby teeth - Missing adult teeth - Impacted teeth (teeth that haven’t come in properly) - Jaw shifting or clicking - Difficulty chewing - Thumb-sucking habits - Overbites, underbites, or crossbites - Airway concerns (mouth breathing, snoring, or narrow jaws) The best way to know for sure is to schedule a consultation. Our orthodontist will assess your child’s bite, growth, and development—and help you decide what’s best What happens after treatment ends? Once treatment is complete, we’ll fit you (or your child) with a custom retainer to maintain your results. Wearing the retainer regularly—usually at night—is key to keeping your smile straight. Check out our Retainers & Aftercare page to learn more. Do I need a referral from my dentist? Nope! You can call us directly to schedule a free consultation with our orthodontic team. We love working in partnership with local dentists, but a referral is not required to begin treatment with us. WHAT PARENTS SAY ABOUT US Chompers remains the best pediatric dentist office we’ve experienced. We’ve had both good and bad experiences previously and once we found chompers we were hooked. Thank you for always caring for my kids, never shaming, always encouraging, partnering with parents, and generally just being wonderful. Nicole R. Parent Hear them Still Have Questions?

  • Pediatric Sedation Dentistry South San Francisco | Chompers

    Chompers Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics provides pediatric sedation dentistry in South San Francisco with safety-focused planning and communication. CHOMPERS Sedation Philosophy Schedule Appointment Understanding the different types of dental sedation Nitrous Oxide or “comfort air” Often called “laughing gas,” nitrous oxide is a very safe, mild sedative that will help your child remain relaxed during dental procedures. We will give the sedation with the use of a “nose cone” which carries air (oxygen) mixed with the medication. Your child will be asked to breathe through the nose, not the mouth, and will sense a faint, sweet smell. The sedation will take effect in about 5 minutes. The nose cone will remain in place until the procedure is done. Your child will be awake during the entire procedure and may have a “happy” feeling. When the procedure is complete, the nitrous oxide will be turned off and your child will breathe in pure oxygen for about 5 minutes to clear out any remaining gas. You should limit your child to a very light meal 2 hours before this procedure, such as toast or a waffle with clear juice or water. Oral Sedatives (Not offered at Chompers) If your child is extremely nervous, oral sedation may be used. It is taken by mouth or through the nose. This type of medicine will make your child a little drowsy, and will keep him or her relaxed and calm during the procedure. The medicine usually begins to work within 20 minutes. Your dentist will have your child take the medicine once you arrive at the appointment. If your child is having sedation, he or she should have nothing to eat or drink after midnight the night before the appointment. Your child will still have the sedatives in their system after their dental procedure is completed. IV Sedation Intravenous (IV) sedation requires a needle to be inserted into your child’s vein, usually in the arm or hand. The biggest advantage to IV sedation is that the anesthesiologist can give your child more medicine during a longer procedure to keep him or her relaxed. Home preparation is required for this type of sedation. This type of sedation is commonly referred to as “being put to sleep.” At Chompers, we acknowledge that some individuals may have reservations about IV sedation. That's why we exclusively collaborate with Medical Anesthesiologist Dr. David Mead, formerly the chief of anesthesiology at Children's Hospital of Oakland. Your safety and comfort are our utmost priority. Our office only offers Nitrous Oxide sedation and IV Sedation. While we are trained to provide all types of sedation, our office believes that the majority of the patients that we see can be treated without the use of Oral Sedatives or IV Sedation. We will occasionally have Medical Anesthesiologist Dr David Mead provide intravenous sedation if: 1) your child has multiple cavities that you wish to have all repaired in one visit 2) if you, as a parent, have a low tolerance for a potentially difficult appointment for your child. On the other hand, we often get parents who bring their child to us because another office has recommended treatment with oral or IV sedation. These types of parents want to avoid oral and IV sedation at all costs and understand that the appointments may be more difficult. Why don’t we offer Oral Sedation Our decision not to offer oral sedation is based on our entire practice’s philosophy of treating every child here as our own. If we can complete treatment without the added complexity of oral then we consider that a success. It is absolutely true that treating a patient that has not been given an oral sedation or IV sedation requires a greater degree of patient management skills. Our office is well equipped to make your child as comfortable as possible with TVs mounted above every chair, individual headphones, and the ability to either watch TV, movies or even play video games while being treated.

PEDIATRIC DENTISTRY AT CHOMPERS Safe, Smart Imaging for Little Smiles Dental radiographs (X-rays) are a valuable tool that help us see what the eyes can’t—catching cavities between teeth, tracking tooth development, and assessing bone health. At Chompers, we use digital radiography, which emits significantly less radiation than traditional methods, ensuring your child’s safety while giving us clear, detailed images to guide their care. Why X-Rays Matter in Pediatric Dentistry X-rays allow us to monitor how your child’s teeth are growing and spot potential issues early—like hidden decay, impacted teeth, or spacing concerns. Early detection means early intervention, which often results in simpler, more effective treatments. We take X-rays only when necessary, based on your child’s age, dental history, and specific needs. Comfortable, Quick, and Kid-Friendly We know some children may feel nervous about X-rays, which is why we’ve made the process as gentle and easy as possible. Our dental team explains every step in a reassuring way, and our small, kid-sized digital sensors ensure a comfortable fit. With quick imaging and a calm environment, most kids find radiographs to be a breeze. WHAT PARENTS SAY ABOUT US Chompers remains the best pediatric dentist office we’ve experienced.

ORTHODONTIC SERVICES AT CHOMPERS Starting Early for a Healthy Smile Early orthodontic treatment, often around ages 7-8, can help identify potential alignment issues before they become bigger problems. By addressing concerns early, such as bite problems or overcrowding, we can guide your child's teeth and jaw growth in the right direction and potentially avoid more extensive treatments later. The Benefits of Early Intervention Starting orthodontic care at an early age allows us to use less invasive techniques and fewer devices, often resulting in shorter treatment times. Early intervention can reduce the need for future braces or surgeries, ensuring that your child has the best chance for a healthy and well-aligned smile as they grow.

What to Expect at Your First Visit What Other Parents Are Saying They explained everything clearly and made my son feel comfortable. I felt totally taken care of, too. Monica R., mom of a 6-year-old When should my child have their first dental visit? We recommend a first dental visit by your child’s first birthday or when the first tooth appears. Early visits help children get comfortable and allow us to support healthy habits from the start. Are baby teeth really that important? Yes. Baby teeth play an important role in chewing, speech development, and guiding permanent teeth into place. Even though they eventually fall out, keeping baby teeth healthy helps support proper jaw development and can prevent dental problems later on. My child is nervous about the dentist. Can you help? Absolutely. Dental anxiety is very common. We take time to move at your child’s pace, explain things in kid-friendly ways, and focus on helping them feel safe and supported. Do you offer fluoride-free options? Yes. We offer fluoride-free options and are happy to discuss alternatives, including hydroxyapatite-based products, when appropriate for your child. When should I start brushing my child’s teeth? As soon as the first tooth appears. We’ll guide you on brushing techniques and toothpaste choices based on your child’s age and needs. Do you take X-rays? Are they safe for kids? Yes, when needed. We use modern digital X-rays and follow strict guidelines to keep radiation exposure as low as possible for children. What are dental sealants, and should my child get them? Dental sealants are protective coatings placed on back teeth to help prevent cavities. We’ll let you know if sealants may be helpful for your child. Do you use sedation for dental work? We offer sedation options when appropriate. If your child needs extra support, we’ll talk with you about what’s available and what may be best for them. What if my child has special healthcare needs? We’re experienced in caring for children with a wide range of needs. Our approach is individualized, patient, and focused on comfort and understanding. Do families travel to Chompers from outside South San Francisco? Yes.
