Braces for Children - When I evaluate children for BRACES  I am primarily focused on the alignment of the upper and lower jaws.  A common problem that I see is a cross bite with the back teeth. either one one side or both sides.  Another problem is when the upper front teeth grow inside the lower front teeth.  This is called an under bite.  These bite problems are very important to intercept and begin treatment as soon as possible with BRACES or an expansion appliance.  If they are not corrected, then the jaws will continue to develop in an abnormal shape which can lead to aesthetic and functional issues.  TMJ dysfunction is often a result of abnormal bites.

Deep bites or overbites also can be corrected before all the permanent teeth are erupted.  A deep bite is when the upper teeth grow over the lower teeth and overlaps them almost entirely. BRACES or bite appliance  can correct this problem easily in about 6 months.

Children often have crooked front teeth at 7-10 years because their new adult teeth are large for their child sized jaws. Therefore,  it is normal for their teeth to look out of position.  Many parents want their children to have straight teeth for pictures at every age so they ask me for options.  I can straighten almost any child's front teeth in 2-6 months with BRACES at a limited cost.

I offer BRACES made of metal with colored ties or clear-white braces for a more inconspicuous appearance.
