- Comprehensive Care: From the initial consultation to the final result, we provide comprehensive care and support throughout your child’s orthodontic treatment.
- Effective Treatment: Braces can correct a wide range of orthodontic issues, including crooked teeth, gaps, overbites, underbites, and crossbites.
- Customized Solutions: We offer various types of braces to meet the unique needs and preferences of each child, including traditional metal braces, ceramic braces, and self-ligating braces.
- Improved Oral Health: Straight teeth are easier to clean and maintain, reducing the risk of cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues.
- Boosted Confidence: A straight, beautiful smile can enhance your child’s self-esteem and confidence.
- Metal Braces: Traditional metal braces are durable and highly effective. Modern metal braces are smaller, more comfortable, and can be customized with colorful elastics to make them fun for kids.
- Ceramic Braces: Ceramic braces are less noticeable than metal braces because they are made of clear or tooth-colored materials. They offer a more discreet option while still providing effective treatment.
- Self-Ligating Braces: These braces use a specialized clip instead of elastics to hold the wire in place, resulting in fewer adjustments and potentially shorter treatment times.
- Initial Consultation: Our orthodontic specialists will evaluate your child’s teeth and discuss their treatment needs and goals. We will explain the different types of braces and recommend the best option for your child.
- Custom Treatment Plan: Once the type of braces is selected, we will create a personalized treatment plan. This includes taking X-rays, photos, and impressions of your child’s teeth to design the braces.
- Fitting the Braces: During the fitting appointment, we will carefully place the braces on your child’s teeth and provide detailed instructions on how to care for them.
- Regular Adjustments: Throughout the treatment, your child will need regular appointments to adjust the braces and monitor progress. These visits ensure that the teeth are moving as planned.
- Completion and Retention: Once the treatment is complete, the braces will be removed, and we will provide retainers to help maintain the new position of your child’s teeth.
