Braces for Kids
At Chloe Dental, we treat children starting at age 6. Early treatment focuses on helping the upper and lower jaws develop properly, ensuring there is enough space for all permanent teeth, and aligning the jaws correctly.
Because children are growing rapidly, they can benefit enormously from an early orthodontic/orthopedic treatment. Braces can fix jaw shape and guide growth for a better alignment between the upper and lower jaws. Establishing a good foundation provides adequate room for the eruption of all permanent teeth.
Early treatment can help avoid the need to remove permanent teeth later to fix overcrowding and prevent surgery to align the jaws. If a child who used functional appliances needs braces later, the treatment is usually quicker and easier.
We’ve noticed that some patients treated with functional appliances at a young age don’t need braces later because the appliances created enough space for their permanent teeth.
Based on the patient’s age and the type of bite issue, our doctors may recommend using orthodontic appliances, braces, or a combination of both. It is important to address a bite problem before all permanent teeth are in. Waiting could lead to a severe jaw issue that braces alone may not be able to fix.
Braces for Teens
Braces help teens fix crooked teeth and bite problems during an important time for dental growth. During the teenage years, the mouth and jaw are still growing, which makes it an ideal time to address orthodontic concerns. Braces can help straighten teeth, close gaps, and align the bite, leading to a healthier smile and improved oral health. Modern braces are more comfortable and less visible, making them a good choice for teens who worry about how they look.
In addition to improving the alignment of teeth, braces for teens can also boost self-esteem and confidence. A straighter smile can enhance a teen’s social interactions and overall sense of well-being. Orthodontic treatment during these years is typically faster and more effective due to the ongoing growth and development of the teeth and jaws. Whether using traditional metal braces or more discreet options like clear aligners, the goal is to create a beautiful, functional smile that teens can be proud of for years to come.
