Orthodontics for Children
How Orthodontics Work
When a child’s teeth and jaws aren’t aligning properly as they grow, orthodontic care can be highly beneficial. Early evaluation and treatment can prevent more serious issues down the road, like crowding, bite problems, or speech difficulties.
At Treehouse Dental Care, we use traditional braces and clear aligners to straighten the smiles of kids as young as seven years old. Both methods work similarly in that they straighten teeth by applying constant gentle pressure, slowly shifting them into their proper positions over time.
A straighter smile isn’t just about appearance; it also makes it easier to brush, floss, and maintain good oral hygiene. With the right orthodontic care, your child can enjoy a healthier, more confident smile for life.
Traditional Braces
Traditional braces, made of either metal or ceramic, have been used for decades to straighten teeth. They can effectively correct complex cases and can be worn by patients of all ages. In recent years, advances in orthodontics have resulted in braces that are low-profile, more comfortable and easier to care for.
A benefit of traditional braces for kids is the consistency they provide. Since braces stay on at all times, they work continuously to move teeth, which can help keep treatment on track. There are also regular check-ups and adjustments, meaning parents receive ongoing support throughout their child's treatment.
For many kids, an added bonus of braces is that they can personalize their treatment with colours and patterns to match their personality.
Invisalign First
With Invisalign First clear aligners, your child's smile is gradually straightened using a series of individually customized, clear plastic aligners that move their teeth over a period of time.
Invisalign First is specifically designed for children's growing smiles, addressing early orthodontic needs and guiding jaw development.
Because clear aligners are removable, your child can take them out to eat, drink, brush, or floss, leaving many of their daily routines in tact and making it easy to maintain regular oral hygiene.
