We always have a impression that braces are for teenagers, however there are increasing number of children with braces nowadays.  The reason is that we have noticed that orthodontic treatment that is begun while your child is still growing may archive the best results. 

So you may bring your child in to our office when he/she turns seven.  We believe this is the optimal time to review your child’s mix of adult and baby teeth so as to spot any problems with emerging teeth and jaw growth.

So why having braces is importantly to your child? Crooked and crowded teeth are difficult to clean and take care of, and which it will possibly lead to tooth decay, gum disease, and also tooth loss.  Bad bites may lead to difficulty in speaking and chewing, abnormal wear on tooth surfaces.

Technology with braces has improved over the years, and now braces can be as unnoticeable or noticeable, depending how you want them to be.  They are smaller, and in some cases they can be attached to the back of tooth.  Also in some specific cases, treatment may be performed without using braces at all, but by using a series of clear plastic, removable mouth-piece-like aligners.

Feel free to consult our doctor about the treatment plan for your child.  We will work with you for an affordable payment plans that works with your budget.
