What are Braces?

Braces are orthodontic appliances consisting of brackets, wires, and bands that work together to gradually move the teeth into their proper positions. By applying gentle pressure to your child’s teeth over time, braces can correct misalignments, close gaps, and improve their bite.

 

Misaligned teeth and jaws can contribute to issues such as tooth decay, gum disease, jaw pain, and even headaches. Set your child up for success by addressing orthodontic issues early on to ensure a healthier smile and a happier future.

Why Start Braces Early?

For some patients, starting braces early can significantly benefit your child’s dental health and well-being. Early intervention tackles orthodontic issues before they worsen, promoting proper jaw development and potentially reducing future treatments. By correcting alignment and bite issues early on, we can ensure proper jaw development and reduce the need for more extensive treatment later in life. Our orthodontics team is ready to help you understand your options and decide what’s best for you and your child.
