Orthodontics for Children in Glen Cove & Oyster Bay

Early Checks, Lifelong Confidence

The American Association of Orthodontists and Dr. Sean Zar recommend that Glen Cove kids have their first orthodontic visit by age seven.

Your quick, no-pressure appointment allows us to ensure your child's teeth and jaws are developing as they should. Most kids come in once a year so that we can keep an eye on their growth.

 

Advantages of Early Orthodontic Treatment

Early intervention allows Dr. Zar to shape a child's growing jaw, ensuring that permanent teeth have room to line up naturally. When spacing is handled early, there's less crowding down the road, which can shorten, or even skip, the full braces phase in the teen years and spare families extra costs.

Kids also enjoy real-time perks: chewing feels easy, speech stays clear, and smiles stay photo-ready through those confidence-building elementary years. Plus, expanding a narrow palate can open the airway, helping many young patients breathe and sleep better.

At LIONS Orthodontics in Glen Cove, these small, timely corrections set the stage for healthier bites and simpler care as your child grows.

 

Signs to Look for in Your Child’s Smile

Here are a few key indicators to look for to know if your child needs orthodontic treatment:

  • Crowded or missing teeth
  • Premature or delayed loss of baby teeth
  • Challenges in biting or chewing
  • Speech difficulties
  • Prolong pacifier use
  • Narrow palette
  • Underbite
  • Crossbite
  • Open bite

Orthodontics for Teens in Glen Cove & Oyster Bay

Guide Your Teen to a Confident Smile

The teen years are prime time for orthodontic treatment, and LIONS Orthodontics takes that responsibility seriously.

Dr. Sean Zar designs personalized plans that fit busy school calendars, sports schedules, and social lives. Our team helps your teen gain the confidence that carries into every classroom and selfie.

 

Treatments Made for Teens

Every smile is unique, so treatment lengths can range from 14 to 24 months. Dr. Zar offers four teen-friendly options, each mapped with quick digital scans to keep visits short and results on point.

Together, you'll choose the solution that feels right, whether your teen is on the field, on stage, or online.

 

Invisalign Clear Aligners

Clear, removable aligners straighten teeth with barely-there visibility. They're perfect for yearbook photos and game days. Invisalign Teen trays include tiny blue wear indicators for built-in accountability, plus extra replacement sets just in case one goes missing.

Your teen eats what they love and brushes without brackets while you track progress with ease.

 

Custom Braces

If your teen prefers fixed appliances, LIONS Orthodontics offers three smart choices. Our low-profile metal braces are tough enough for any sport and still feel light on the lips.

For a subtler look in photos, clear ceramic braces blend in with natural tooth color while working just as hard. For the ultimate precision, LightForce 3-D printed braces are custom-shaped for each tooth, providing faster and more accurate results.

A quick digital scan enables Dr. Zar to place every bracket with 3D-printed trays, allowing appointments to move faster and minimizing soreness. That means fewer mid-class text-home slips, fewer after-school adjustments, and a smoother path to a brag-worthy smile.

Orthodontics for Adults in Glen Cove & Oyster Bay

Your Orthodontic Solutions

At LIONS Orthodontics, grown-ups make up a big part of our schedule. Whether you missed braces as a kid or your teeth drifted after college, Dr. Sean Zar offers flexible, subtle ways to get the smile you've always wanted without putting work lunches or client meetings on hold.

Modern appliances, such as Invisalign aligners, clear ceramic braces, and LightForce 3-D printed brackets, blend seamlessly into daily life while delivering professional-level results.

 

Benefits of Adult Treatment

Sophisticated Solutions

Busy professionals need a low-profile fix, and that's exactly what Invisalign, clear ceramic braces, and custom LightForce brackets provide.

These choices keep metal to a minimum or hide it entirely so you can speak in the boardroom, cheer in the bleachers, and snap photos without a flash of silver. The only thing people notice is your growing confidence.

 

Customized Care for Adults

Every adult mouth tells a different story. Some individuals need to correct long-standing bite issues that cause jaw tension, while others want to refine their appearance before a significant life event.

Dr. Zar designs a plan around your goals, using precise digital scans to move teeth efficiently while easing strain on enamel and joints. The payoff is easier cleaning, balanced chewing, and a smile that feels as good as it looks.
