When considering orthodontic treatment, there are more options now than ever before! Orthodontists use modern clear or metal braces that are small and more efficient.
Many of our teen and young patients choose metal or clear “conventional” braces because they customizing them with their favorite colors, school colors, or even their favorite sports team colors bring added fun to the treatment process.
I have been asked almost everyday, does my child need braces? When is it considered an appropriate age to explore orthodontic treatment for my child? The short answer to all of these questions is that not all kids need braces – some don’t need them at all, some could benefit from orthodontic treatment, and some really need them.
ADA research shows that more than 5 million teeth are injured or knocked out every year during sports activities, which costs Americans $500 million. Wearing a mouthguard will save you lots of money, time and toothache!
