Blast off to confidence!
Every kid deserves a head start on a great smile. The Tripp Leitner Orthodontics Rising Star program gives kids ages 7- plus exactly that—and much more!
We Make Orthodontics Fun for Kids
Their free membership in Rising Star includes all kinds of free swag, birthday surprises, extra encouragement, and prizes … like we said: FUN!
Our goal is that, whether it be their own appointments or they’re just tagging along with a sibling, kids love coming to see us while learning how important taking care of their smiles is in the process.
It’s easy (and did we mention FUN?). Schedule your first, free consultation and get ready to blast off!
When should my child see an orthodontist?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that parents schedule their child’s first orthodontic visit by age 7. It’s around this time that their little smiles have a mix of baby and permanent teeth, and because their jaws are still developing, it’s important to monitor how adult teeth come in.
Without growth monitoring, crowding and other potential problems may make orthodontic treatment more challenging later in life.
Rising Star Reviews
Dr. Leitner and all the professional teammates at Tripp Leitner Orthodontics have been amazing! It has been an exceptional service for our family. They go above and beyond to meet our individualized needs. I could not be happier.
The experience is excellent from start to finish but the staff is even better. I’m excited to continue my son’s orthodontic treatment with this team.
The attention to detail and customer care provided were exceptional. During the consultation, the staff, from the front desk to the back, did an outstanding job communicating with my daughter to ensure her comfort. I wholeheartedly recommend Trip Leitner Orthodontics.
Absolutely amazing experience with Dr. Tripp and his entire team! From the moment I walked in, the entire office was warm, welcoming, and amazing. A special thank you to Kara, the treatment coordinator, who was so kind and helpful throughout the process.Dr. Tripp made me feel truly heard, which meant so much to me. He took the time to listen to all of my concerns, explained everything clearly, and never made me feel rushed or pressured. What impressed me most was his honesty and integrity—even though orthodontics and braces are his specialty, he was honest enough to tell me I did not need braces rather than recommending unnecessary treatment. That level of patient-centered care is rare and deeply appreciated.I left feeling respected, relieved, and so grateful for such an honest and positive experience. I highly recommend Dr. Tripp, Kara, and the entire office!”
Leitner Orthodontics and Dr. Tripp took really good care of me throughout the entire process. I was in and out of my appointment quickly, and my teeth are progressing exactly as expected. The staff has been professional, friendly, and efficient at every visit. I’m looking forward to seeing the final results and would highly recommend them to anyone considering orthodontic treatment.

What is Orthodontic Growth Monitoring?
As your little one grows, your Tripp Leitner Orthodontics doctor can help watch for orthodontic issues before they become more serious, making the work of orthodontics in their later years a lot easier. For example, we’ll monitor:
- Potential cross-bite and open bite development
- Obstructive breathing issues—is your child a mouth breather?
- Position of baby and permanent teeth
- Dental overcrowding or spacing which could hinder or affect permanent tooth development or position
- How permanent teeth come in
- Teeth at risk for injury or decay due to protrusion or overcrowding
- Harmful habits that may cause orthodontic problems (thumb sucking)
- Oral hygiene and overall dental health
- A balanced facial appearance
