A coordinated starting point

Orthodontic and pediatric appointments may use different suites at Lorton Station. Confirm the treating provider and exact suite when scheduling so you arrive at the right office.

What to discuss at the consultation

Tell the team about your main concern, previous dental treatment, and any medical evaluation already completed. A visit can explore jaw width, bite relationships, growth, and oral function while identifying where additional expertise may help.

Plan the next step around your needs

The online airway evaluation helps organize your observations. At the visit, the clinical assessment determines whether the next step is monitoring, additional records, treatment planning, or coordination with another provider.

Need pediatric scheduling?

Let the team know the patient’s age and the reason for the visit so the appropriate office and provider can be identified.

Discuss growth and functional findings

Mixed-dentition assessment considers eruption sequence, transverse occlusion, mandibular displacement, oral habits, and the child’s ability to participate in treatment. A tongue- or lip-frenulum concern should identify the affected function rather than relying on attachment appearance. When arranging a Lorton visit, share the patient’s age, the presenting limitation, and relevant pediatric or ENT history so the consultation can address timing and the appropriate sequence of care.

Pediatric airway dentistry

Children grow quickly. Pediatric dentistry adds an early view of dental development, oral habits, feeding concerns, and the patterns a family notices at home.

Palatal expansion & the airway

The palate is also the floor of the nose. When the upper jaw is constricted, expansion can address a structural limitation that matters to the bite and, in selected patients, the nasal airway.
