Kids braces not only straighten teeth but also guide jaw and teeth growth, iregular dental visits are essential for maintaining optimal oral health. During appointments, we conduct exams, remove plaque and tartar, and offer oral hygiene guidance. This improves oral function, enhancing chewing and speech.
Despite best efforts, children may still develop cavities. Our team offers preventive measures such as fluoride treatments and dental sealants to reduce the risk of cavities. If cavities do occur, we provide gentle and effective treatment to restore the health of the affected teeth.
Dental emergencies can happen at any time, and our team is here to provide prompt care when needed. Whether it's a knocked-out tooth, a dental injury, or severe tooth pain, we prioritize the comfort and well-being of our young patients.
Early orthodontic evaluations allow us to identify potential alignment issues and develop a treatment plan to address them. For children who require orthodontic treatment, we offer a range of options, including traditional metal braces, ceramic braces, and clear aligners.

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children have their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. This early evaluation allows orthodontists to assess the child's dental development and identify any potential issues that may require intervention. While most children won't need braces at this age, early detection of orthodontic problems can help plan for future treatment if necessary.
Your child's dentist or orthodontist will evaluate their dental alignment, bite, and jaw development to determine if braces are needed. Common issues that may require braces include overcrowding, misaligned teeth, overbite, underbite, crossbite, or gaps between teeth. X-rays, photographs, and dental impressions may be taken to assess the severity of the orthodontic problem and plan the appropriate treatment.
Several types of braces are available for children, including traditional metal braces, ceramic braces, and clear aligners. Traditional metal braces are the most common and consist of metal brackets attached to the teeth, connected by wires. Ceramic braces are similar to metal braces but use tooth-colored or clear brackets for a less noticeable appearance. Clear aligners, such as Invisalign, are a series of removable plastic trays that gradually move the teeth into alignment.

Proper oral hygiene is essential during orthodontic treatment to prevent cavities, gum disease, and white spots on the teeth. Children with braces should brush their teeth after every meal and floss daily using special orthodontic tools like floss threaders or interdental brushes to clean around the brackets and wires. Additionally, regular dental check-ups and cleanings are important to monitor oral health and address any issues that may arise during treatment.
It's normal for children to experience minor speech changes, such as lisping, in the early stages of wearing braces.
