Orthodontic Care for Children

Prevention Now…or Braces Later

A lot of us recall the embarrassment and challenge of wearing braces as a child. There are times when braces are necessary in order to correct serious malocclusion (bite disorder). However, for many patients, early treatment by a qualified and knowledgeable dentist can diminish the level of orthodontics required or very possibly remove the need altogether! 

Younger children have the benefit of growth to their advantage. Their teeth and bones are more malleable than those of adults. Understanding that a child has a malocclusion at an early age can assist in understanding how the permanent teeth will come together. The sooner the detection, the more planning and prevention we can propose for your child.

Clear Dental Aligners

Invisalign Boosts Your Confidence

There are some “clear” advantages to the Invisalign system. For example, no one will know you’re straightening your teeth because the clarity of the aligners makes them almost invisible! People would have to know you’re wearing aligners, or look very closely, to be able to see them. This will be a real confidence booster when it comes to your smile all through your active treatment. 

Don’t forget comfort! There are no braces, wires, or headgear to cause mouth irritation. The aligners are a single unit, with no metal or wires to be checked and adjusted, so you even get to spend less time in Dr. Brent’s chair. 

Then there’s the convenience factor. Though you wear the aligners 24 hours a day, they are simple to remove for eating and brushing, which means no food restrictions. Keeping your teeth clean and plaque free is just as stress-free as it was before treatment, because there are no braces to get in your way.
