Explore Orthodontic Treatment at Smiles for Kids

This page covers our overall approach to orthodontic care in Cumming, Decatur, and Peachtree Corners. Explore the individual service pages below for complete details on each treatment option we offer.

Metal Braces

Traditional braces with metal brackets offer the most precise control for a wide range of bite and alignment cases — now with smaller, smoother brackets that are more comfortable than ever.

Clear Braces

Ceramic clear braces deliver the same clinical precision as metal braces with tooth-colored brackets that blend in naturally for a more subtle treatment experience.

Learn More →

Invisalign® Clear Aligners

Virtually invisible and fully removable, Invisalign® clear aligners are our most popular orthodontic option for teens and adults who want flexibility during treatment.

Learn More →

Teen Orthodontics

Care from an orthodontist for teens, designed around teenage life — with options including metal braces, clear braces, and Invisalign Teen® to match every personality and clinical need.

Learn More →

Adult Orthodontics

It is never too late for a straighter smile. Dr. Sharma provides adult orthodontics with discreet options including clear braces and Invisalign for patients of all ages.

Children’s Orthodontics

Braces for kids deliver beautifully aligned smiles and healthy bites — with kid-friendly appointments, fun bracket color choices, and a specialist who works with growing smiles every day. Looking for braces for kids near me? Our Cumming, Decatur, and Peachtree Corners offices all offer free consultations.

Early Orthodontic Treatment

Early orthodontic treatment (Phase 1 orthodontic care) for younger children guides jaw development and creates space for permanent teeth — often simplifying or shortening future treatment when intervention happens at the right time.

Learn More →

Surgical Orthodontics

For jaw discrepancies too significant for orthodontic appliances alone, Dr. Sharma coordinates surgical orthodontics — treatment alongside oral surgery — to achieve functional bite correction and facial balance.

Learn More →

Advanced Orthodontic Technology

From 3D digital intraoral scanning to Invisalign ClinCheck planning software, our advanced orthodontic treatment uses the latest orthodontic technology to improve accuracy, comfort, and treatment efficiency for every patient.

Learn More →

Retainers & Post-Treatment Care

A custom orthodontic retainer after active treatment protects your investment and prevents teeth from shifting back. We provide retainers, replacement retainers, and long-term retention monitoring.

Your Orthodontic Treatment Journey at Smiles for Kids — 4 Steps

Getting started with orthodontic care is easy and completely stress-free.

STEP 1

Free Consultation

Dr. Sharma evaluates your child’s bite, alignment, and jaw development. She explains everything she finds and walks you through your treatment options — no pressure, no obligation. Find the location nearest to you to schedule a visit.

STEP 2

3D Digital Treatment Planning

A precise intraoral scan replaces traditional impressions. For Invisalign® patients, a digital preview shows your finished smile before treatment begins.

STEP 3

Active Orthodontic Treatment

Consistent, expert adjustments — whether braces or clear aligners — keep your child’s treatment on schedule. Appointments fit around school and activities.

STEP 4

Retention & Celebration

When treatment is complete, Dr. Sharma fits your child’s custom retainer and celebrates the result. Our AAO-compliant approach: aaoinfo.org

Orthodontics — Benefits Beyond a Straighter Smile

Expert treatment does far more than improve appearance — it creates lasting improvements in health, function, and confidence.

Healthier Teeth

Properly aligned teeth are significantly easier to clean, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease throughout your child’s life.

Improved Bite Function

Correcting bite issues reduces jaw pain, prevents uneven tooth wear, and makes chewing and speaking more comfortable and natural.

Lasting Confidence

A smile your child loves gives them confidence in the classroom, in social settings, and in everything they do. That confidence is real and it lasts.

Integrated Pediatric & Ortho Care

Because Dr. Sharma is dual certified, your child’s dental health and orthodontic development are always evaluated together — no gaps, no miscommunication between providers.

“I have two kids, age 9 and 11. Our cleaning today went perfectly. The dental technician was very informative not only with me as a parent, but with my children about their brushing and flossing habits so they can improve. The dentist reviewed their x-rays and explained the results and orthodontic implications. I was very honest about insurance needs and cost concerns. Staff responded appropriately, so out-of-pocket costs were noted I had of time. I’m glad this is their new dentist!”

— Alicia H.
