Braces are orthodontic devices designed to correct issues like crooked teeth and misaligned bites in children. By applying continuous pressure, braces gradually shift teeth into the correct alignment over time.
At our clinics, braces treatments for kids start at $3,815. Our kids’ dentist assess each child’s unique needs to recommend the most suitable treatment options, ensuring a tailored approach to enhancing your child’s dental health and smile.

Braces are recommended to address various alignment issues that can affect your child’s oral health and development. Common signs indicating the need for braces include:
Specific Conditions Treated by Braces:
The best age for braces is usually during the early teenage years, around 9 to 14 years old. During this period, kids still have a mix of baby teeth and permanent teeth, and their jaws are still growing. This makes it easier for dentists to guide the teeth and jaw into the right positions using braces.
However, braces are not exclusive to young patients. Adults can also get braces to fix their teeth alignment and improve their smile.

The most suitable types of braces for kids include self-ligating braces, traditional metal braces, ceramic braces and clear aligners such as Invisalign. Traditional metal braces are the most common and effective option. Those who prefer a less noticeable appearance can go for ceramic braces.
Self-ligating braces often require fewer manual adjustments and shorter treatment time. As for clear aligners, they are virtually invisible and can be removed.
If you are unsure about the most suitable braces for your child, it is best to consult with our experienced team.
Yes, your child can continue playing sports and musical instruments with braces. They may need to wear a mouthguard for sports and adjust their technique for wind instruments. Remember to encourage good oral hygiene habits.
If your child is wearing clear aligners, rest assured that they can also continue to perform the same activities with no issues.
Yes! In many cases, early orthodontic care can include growth modification treatments that help guide your child’s jaw development before braces are even needed. By identifying and addressing issues early, we can encourage proper jaw alignment, create more space for incoming teeth, and sometimes even reduce the need for complex treatment later on. It’s especially helpful while your child’s bones are still developing.
