Braces for Children

Want to ensure your child has a lifetime of smiles ahead of them? At Tony Weir Orthodontics we are dedicated to helping children achieve healthy smiles for life.

Not too long ago, dental braces were for people who had major tooth and jaw problems, which were often fixed in childhood. It was so expensive before that many parents would choose to leave their children with misaligned or poor teeth.

Thanks to the advancement in dental technology, getting braces for your children is not as expensive as before. Braces can have a dramatic impact on the appearance, health and function of your child’s teeth, so the investment is well worth the result.

Straighter smiles and a healthier mouth…

Dental braces for children are now very popular in today’s society. It is one of the best ways to get your child a much straighter teeth and better dental health.

Prevent problems in the future!

Children tend to have an under or overbite which can cause them to wear down their teeth much more quickly. Poorly aligned or crooked teeth can also present a lot of problems as they can be very difficult to clean. This means they are more prone to tooth decay and gum disease.

When can children get braces?

Parents who wish to get their children braces should first make sure that their children have already lost all their temporary teeth and have been replaced by their secondary teeth. Once this has occurred they are ideal candidates for braces.
