Dr. David Ross: The Trusted Pediatric Orthodontist
With decades of experience, Dr. David Ross is an excellent choice to help your child achieve a healthy, confident smile.
The Critical Importance of Early Orthodontic Care
Picture this: your 8-year-old covers their mouth when they laugh, or your teenager avoids smiling in photos. These aren’t just cosmetic concerns—they’re confidence killers that can affect social interactions, academic performance, and overall happiness. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children have their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7, but many parents don’t realize how crucial this timing really is.
Early intervention by a skilled pediatric orthodontist can prevent minor issues from becoming major problems. Issues like crowding, crossbites, and jaw development problems are much easier—and less expensive—to treat when caught early. Dr. David Ross, with his extensive background in neurobiology and physiology from the University of Maryland, understands exactly how the developing jaw and facial structures work together.
Beyond Traditional Braces: Modern Solutions for Today’s Kids
Gone are the days when “braces for kids” meant only bulky metal brackets and wires. As a forward-thinking pediatric orthodontist, Dr. Ross offers a comprehensive range of treatment options tailored to your child’s lifestyle and comfort level:
Traditional Metal Braces: Still the gold standard for complex cases, but now smaller, more comfortable, and more effective than ever.
Clear Aligners and Invisalign: Perfect for responsible teens who want to straighten their teeth without the traditional “metal mouth” look.
Early Treatment Options: Specialized appliances that guide proper jaw development and create space for permanent teeth.
Dr. Ross uses the latest orthodontic technology to ensure your child gets straighter teeth faster, more safely, and with greater comfort than previous generations ever experienced.
The Family Experience That Makes All the Difference
Choosing a pediatric orthodontist isn’t just about the doctor—it’s about the entire experience. At David Ross Orthodontics, they understand that orthodontic treatment is a family journey. From the moment you step into their welcoming offices, you’ll notice the difference.

But when you consider the long-term benefits—improved oral health, enhanced self-confidence, better speech, and a lifetime of beautiful smiles—the value becomes clear.
