Traditional Orthodontic Treatment for Reliable Results
Braces are an effective, affordable, and durable method for straightening teeth, addressing various orthodontic issues with teeth and jaws.
At Braced in BC, we may recommend braces to kids as young as 7, depending on their stage of development and the nature and severity of their orthodontic issues. Braces can work with a growing mouth of baby teeth and permanent teeth.
Early intervention allows us to work with the development of your child's mouth, rather than against already-established issues later on. This generally means more conservative, straightforward treatment over time.
The Importance of Early Orthodontics for Kids
Children with developing orthodontic issues often benefit from early intervention to prevent or reduce the need for more extensive treatment later in life. Our orthodontists at Braced in BC may recommend braces as part of your child's treatment plan.
The Benefits of Braces for Kids
Our orthodontists take your child’s personality and specific orthodontic needs into account when recommending treatment, whether that’s braces or clear aligners.
Efficiency
Over the decades, braces have evolved to be less bulky and more effective at adjusting young smiles. This can help treatment seem to fly by.
Consistency
Consistency is the key to ensuring optimal results are achieved quickly. Braces are securely fixed to the teeth and cannot be removed or lost, and their durability makes them difficult to damage, providing reliable results.
Aesthetics
Braces can be fun for kids! While more subtle options like self-ligating braces, LightForce™ 3D Braces, and translucent braces are available, many young patients love choosing new colours at each visit.
Braces Treatment at Braced in BC
Traditional orthodontic braces use brackets, elastic bands, and wires to gradually shift and align teeth over time.
But today's braces aren't the clunky, uncomfortable face-full-of-metal that you might be picturing from decades ago. Modern braces are more low-profile than ever before.
