Orthodontic Treatment Near You

At Summit Family Orthodontics, Dr. Thomas (Tom) Berchtold provides expert orthodontic care in Littleton for children, teens, and adults in a welcoming, family-owned environment. Our locally rooted clinic focuses on personalized treatment, modern technology, and genuine relationships so every patient feels confident, comfortable, and supported from the first visit to the final smile.

Early Orthodontic Care for Kids

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a child’s first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. Early assessments allow us to identify bite or alignment concerns while the jaw is still growing, making it possible to guide development gently and potentially reduce the need for more complex treatment later.
Our office is designed to help kids feel at ease, with cozy touches like blankets and TVs in treatment rooms. Using digital X-rays and panoramic imaging, we gain a clear picture of your child’s dental development without invasive procedures. For anxious children, nitrous oxide is available to ease nerves and make visits positive.

Parents appreciate our clear communication; we explain findings, answer questions, and build a plan that fits both their child’s needs and their family’s schedule.

Stress-Free Orthodontic Solutions for Teens

Teenagers need orthodontic care that fits busy, active lives. We offer braces and clear aligner options that balance effectiveness with discretion. Our orthodontist uses digital impressions and intraoral scanning, eliminating messy traditional molds. This means faster appointments, improved accuracy, and a more comfortable experience. During visits, teens can relax with headphones, streaming services, and a calm atmosphere. We also provide regular progress updates with clear visuals, helping teens see their progress and stay motivated throughout treatment.

Adult Orthodontics That Fit Your Life

It’s never too late to love your smile. Many adults assume orthodontics will be inconvenient, but they’re often surprised by how efficient and comfortable modern treatment can be.
We respect your time with streamlined scheduling, including same-day appointments when available. Our orthodontist uses advanced tools like iTero digital scanners and soft tissue lasers to improve precision, reduce discomfort, and support faster progress.
After treatment, many adults choose professional teeth whitening to put the finishing touch on their newly aligned smile delivering bright, polished results without the mess of over-the-counter products.

More Than Looks: Why Orthodontics Matter at Any Age

Orthodontics isn’t just cosmetic. Proper alignment improves how your teeth function together, making brushing and flossing easier and reducing the risk of cavities, gum disease, and uneven wear.

Kids benefit from guided jaw development

Teens reduce stress on developing teeth
