Nowadays, it looks like all kids at
school have braces! Dr. Sarah Jovanovski
sees MANY kids from from ALL Round Rock ISD Schools, including: Stony Point HS,
Gattis Elementary, Hopewell Elementary, Cactus Ranch Elementary School,
Chandler Oaks Elementary School, Ridgeview Middle School, and Cedar Ridge High
School. Kids can need braces for any number of reasons,” says Dr. Sarah Jovan “including
crooked, overlapping, or overcrowded teeth, or a "bad bite" (known as
malocclusion).” 
What is a Malocclusion? Simply, its
when there's a difference in the sizes of upper and lower jaws. Have you ever
tried on 2 shoes that have different sizes from one another? One is too big, one is too small--- They don’t fit, or work in unison with one
another! When the upper jaw is bigger
than the lower jaw, it's called an overbite. When the lower jaw is
bigger, it's called an underbite.
Having a mismatch in the jaws can create problems in your child’s bite,
or affect the proportions and beauty of the face.

How can my general dentist help?
Often, your child's dentist will be
the first to notice problems during a regular visit and recommend that you see
an orthodontist (a dentist who specializes in
correcting jaw and/or teeth alignment problems). The orthodontist can decide
whether your child does indeed need braces and which devices would be best. Dr.
Sarah Jovanovski works closely with general dentists, pediatric specialists,
and oral surgeons in providing the best care for your child.
