Correct Issues With Teeth and Bite Alignment

It's not uncommon to associate those awkward childhood years with braces, retainers, rubber bands, and the like. That's because dental experts understand the importance of addressing issues with teeth alignment early as a child's mouth is still developing.

 Kids Dental Care is happy to work with children to offer the orthodontics they need to enjoy a healthier mouth with straight, beautiful teeth. We offer both the traditional braces as well as invisible, customized options to allow you to have your treatment in a way that you prefer.

WHAT EXACTLY IS ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT?

HOW CAN IT HELP MY CHILD?

Orthodontic treatment focuses on using braces, retainers, rubber bands, and other tools to assist in forcing your teeth into the desired, healthy position. Correcting issues with tooth placement or alignment is essential in maintaining the health of your mouth.


An orthodontist will perform an assessment to first fit your mouth with it's initial treatment. Traditional braces use a special grade cement to affix the brackets and wires in your mouth, whereas invisible braces will require you to wear a mold that's fabricated from your mouth shape.


Over time as your mouth adapts to the treatment, your orthodontist will make periodic adjustments to tighten your braces and continue to force them into the optimal position. 

What Can Happen if Your Alignment Isn't Corrected?

The initial problem to worry about when dealing with long-term, crooked teeth is the inability to adequately clean the teeth. When there isn't adequate spacing between teeth, they can push up against each other, making it less likely for you to be able to correctly brush or floss certain areas.

These types of issues are what lead to tooth decay and gum disease. As the problem continues to persist, you can develop uneven wear on your teeth, which leads to issues such as TMJ, headaches, and more. Unaddressed issues with your mouth essentially continue to compound over time.

That's why it's important to address these problems early on to avoid these issues altogether. When we correct the problem early in a child's development, they have to wear corrective braces for less time.
