Questions about orthodontic treatments

At what age should children receive orthodontic treatment?

According to the American Association of Orthodontists, children should have their first orthodontic evaluation by the age of 7. This allows us to detect and treat any potential issues before they become more serious.

Can my child play sports while wearing braces or Invisalign?

Yes! However, they may need to wear a mouthguard to protect their teeth and braces or aligners.

What dental issues can braces help with?

Braces can be used to correct a range of dental issues, including crooked or crowded teeth, overbites, underbites, crossbites, and gaps between teeth.

Will orthodontic treatment affect my child's speech or eating habits?

It’s common for children to experience some temporary changes to their speech and eating habits during orthodontic treatment. However, these usually resolve within a few days or weeks.

How long does orthodontic treatment usually take?

The duration of orthodontic treatment varies according to the severity of the problem and the type of treatment. On average, orthodontic treatment takes between 12 and 36 months.
