Welcome
New Patients
Junior Explorers (Ages 6–9) and even younger for siblings!
The best time for a smile check is age 7, but that rarely means braces right away. Our Junior Explorer program is a fun, no-pressure way to monitor your child’s growth. Most of our explorers simply visit us every 9–12 months so we can keep an eye on things as they grow.
Our Junior Explorer Program provides:
- Proactive Monitoring: We track jaw development and breathing patterns early.
- Expert Guidance: We catch bite issues or crowding before they become severe.
- Future Planning: Early visits often reduce the need for complex treatment later.
- Peace of Mind: You’ll always know exactly how your child’s smile is progressing.
Sibling Friendly: Younger brothers and sisters are always welcome to join the fun and get comfortable with our office early!
The Fun Part: We’ve created a space kids actually look forward to visiting! Whether we’re celebrating a birthday, a treatment milestone, or great brushing habits, our Neal Notes rewards program lets kids earn fun prizes while building a smile they love.
