Does My Kid Need Braces?

Reasons to get braces include:

● Overbites
● Underbites
● Overcrowded Teeth
● Crooked Teeth
● Overlapping Teeth
● Gaps

● Open Bites

Teeth that are improperly aligned do more than impact your smile. They can help prevent:

● Cavities

When Do Kids Get Braces?

When we were younger, dentists usually waited to recommend braces when a child was a teenager.

However, we have learned that earlier intervention is better. Children’s mouths and heads stop growing around the time they hit puberty. That can make it much more difficult to get lasting changes in their mouths. So, you may be referred for braces for kids when a child is around 7.

Why Choose Traditional Braces

Many parents ask us about other options for braces. That is because traditional braces have gotten a bad reputation. However, they remain the best option for braces for most children.
