The Fallsgrove Smile Guide

Snoring, mouth breathing, and trouble focusing in school might seem unrelated to your child's teeth, but they often point to a narrow upper jaw. At Fallsgrove Orthodontics in Rockville, Dr. Boroun uses airway orthodontics to gently widen the jaw during childhood, making it easier for kids to breathe, sleep deeply, and grow properly.

Deciding between braces and Invisalign comes down to your lifestyle, bite complexity, and daily habits. While both treatments take 12 to 24 months, braces work around the clock automatically, whereas aligners require strict discipline to wear 20 to 22 hours a day. Read our guide to compare appearance, comfort, and care, and find out which option is right for you.

Getting ready for a wedding or big event? If you have six months to spare, clear aligners can fix crowding, gaps, or rotated front teeth so you look great in your photos. At Fallsgrove Orthodontics, Dr. Boroun focuses on your front teeth to give you a straighter, camera-ready smile on a fast timeline. Start early to give yourself time for whitening and final touch-ups before the big day.

Your child's teeth, jaw, and facial muscles work as a team. When one part is out of balance, it affects the rest. At Fallsgrove Orthodontics, Dr. Boroun combines Phase I orthodontic treatment with speech and myofunctional therapy to shape proper structure and train muscles together, building healthy habits that last a lifetime.

Wondering if braces cause jaw pain or fix it? Research shows orthodontic treatment doesn't cause TMD. Discover what science really says about your jaw and teeth.

You swallow up to 2,000 times a day, and where your tongue rests matters. If it pushes against your front teeth instead of the roof of your mouth, it can cause gaps, flared teeth, and gum issues over time. At Fallsgrove Orthodontics, Dr. Boroun treats both the teeth and the habit for lasting results.

Most parents think braces wait until the teen years. But according to the American Association of Orthodontists, the best time for a child's first check-up is age 7. Dr. Boroun explains why this early visit is crucial for catching developing bite issues, what to expect at the appointment, and why most children don't actually need treatment right away.
