Braces

As with any orthodontic treatment, it is important to choose the right option for your needs and lifestyle.

It is recommended to bring your child to the orthodontist around age 7 for their first examination. By being proactive with orthodontics, your doctor will be able to nip certain problems in the bud before they become uncomfortable or harmful to your child’s health.

The most obvious reason for getting braces is crooked teeth, but overcrowding and bite misalignment are also common issues that can be solved with braces. The best way to determine if your teen is a candidate for braces is to book a consultation with your local orthodontist.

Braces are able to fix orthodontic issues throughout adulthood, giving patients a better quality of life in terms of health and self-esteem.

There are multiple types of braces on the market. Making sure you pick the right kind for your lifestyle is something you can talk to your orthodontist about when coming in for an appointment.
