Back-To-School Smiles: Why Children’s braces are on the rise
Early prevention is undoubtedly the best solution when it comes to your children’s teeth, and braces are an excellent option. Given the fact that approximately one in three children require orthodontic treatment, it’s certainly nothing to worry about if you think that your kids require some intervention as far as their teeth and jawline are concerned. In this article, we explain why it’s crucial to act early to get your children the orthodontic treatment they require, and we introduce our range of children’s braces for you to consider.
Why are children’s braces important?
The fundamental objective of orthodontic treatment is to provide you with a healthy bite, which refers to the position of your jaw and the alignment of your teeth. Children might experience orthodontic issues as a result of genetics or bad habits. The likes of thumb-sucking, abnormal swallowing, and mouth breathing can all contribute to misalignment. While some parents are hesitant to take their children for braces, the reality is that the earlier you seek treatment, the better things will be for your children.
Contrary to what some people think, children’s teeth don’t just straighten out naturally as they grow. This means that any orthodontic issues that your children have from a young age are likely to get progressively worse as they age. Orthodontic issues also become much more difficult to treat in future, so it’s really important you act when your children are still young to get them the treatment that they need.
Introducing the different treatment options for your children
At Pure Smiles, we specialise in delivering exceptional orthodontic care to your children in a calm and relaxing environment. We acknowledge that the process of fitting a brace can be stressful for you and your child, which is why we have a range of treatment options available. We begin with an in-depth assessment of your child’s teeth and jawline before recommending the best course of treatment to improve their bite and help them achieve a gorgeous smile. We have a full range of orthodontic options for kids, including:
Removable expanders: Similar to a retainer, removable expanders can be taken out of your kids’ mouths before meals and are a popular choice with our clients.
Invisalign: Our Invisalign aligners are ultra-clear and have no metal fixings. They can be removed for brushing and eating and are a great option for both children and adults.
Fixed braces: A tried and tested way of straightening your teeth is opting for fixed braces, which use teeth-coloured wires and clear brackets. They can’t be taken out, but they typically deliver results within six months.
Our highly skilled and friendly dentists are perfectly positioned to advise you on the best course of treatment for your kids.
