Do wisdom teeth cause crowding? 🤔 This is a myt Do wisdom teeth cause crowding? 🤔 This is a myth!

Your wisdom teeth don’t cause your teeth to bunch up before treatment, but removing them can cause shifting. **That’s why it’s SO important to wear your retainer, especially post wisdom tooth-removal!**

So, don’t worry about your wisdom teeth changing your smile until AFTER your teeth are straightened out – and always remember we’re here to help with any problems or questions you might have.

🎉🍫BIG NEWS in Orthodontic Innovation! 🎉🍫

Introducing the sweetest advancement in orthodontics—Gummy Braces & Chocolate Aligners! 😁✨ Now you can straighten your smile in the yummiest way possible.

🔹 Gummy Braces – Fully edible brackets and wires that come in your favorite flavors. (Warning: may require frequent “adjustments” due to, um, snacking.)
🔹 Chocolate Aligners – Melt-in-your-mouth treatment that makes orthodontic care deliciously easy.

Our team has been working tooth and nail (pun intended) to bring you the future of orthodontics. Who’s ready to book their sweetest consultation yet? 🍬🍫😆
Thumb-sucking is one of the most natural habits in Thumb-sucking is one of the most natural habits in early childhood, often serving as a source of comfort and security for infants and toddlers. (plus, it’s so darn cute when they’re little! 🥹) While this habit is typically harmless in the first few years, prolonged thumb-sucking—especially past age six—can lead to lasting dental and orthodontic challenges.

At Kanning Orthodontics, we take a gentle, supportive approach to help children break the habit in a way that builds confidence rather than fear. Our success stories are countless and the relationships built between the kiddo and our practice are priceless. 

Check out our blog post that discussed the magic we do here at Kanning Ortho to help encourage your kid to end their thumb sucking habit! ✨
