Braces and Orthodontics for Kids and Teens
At the Pediatric Dental Care Associates, we provide in-house preliminary orthodontic evaluations and are always transparent about when and if your child would be a good candidate for orthodonture. Moreover, if your child is a good candidate for braces we will happily provide you with a referral to trusted orthodontists we collaborate with.
What Is Orthodontics?
Orthodontics is a dental specialty that prevents and corrects irregularities of the teeth by using braces or aligners. Orthodontics helps correct poor bite otherwise known as malocclusion, improve speech, straighten teeth, and correct spacing. When your teeth are correctly aligned, it is much easier to clean them by brushing and flossing. This will alleviate oral issues and continue to keep your child’s smile healthy and happy!
What is an Ortho Appliance?
Orthodontic care involves the use of two main types of appliances. The most common appliance is braces, which are attached to the teeth. The second one is a removable appliance, which is inserted and taken out by the patient. These devices can be used to:
- Straighten teeth
- Correct an irregular bite
- Close unsightly gaps
- Bring teeth and lips into proper alignment
