Braces for Children
Appledore Milton Keynes offers a variety of options to treat issues with kids teeth and jaws.
Interest free credit available & FREE initial online consultation.
Braces for children are most often used to straighten crooked, crowded or protruding teeth, close gaps between teeth, and correct the bite so the top and bottom teeth meet when the mouth is closed.
Straightening your teeth, as well as looking better, means that your child will be able to care for their teeth and gums more easily, preventing issues from occurring later in life. In many cases the bite is also improved, meaning they can eat more comfortably.
The Clinical Director at our private dental practice in Milton Keynes, Dr Teresa, has treated a variety of children’s dental issues over many years and is happy to provide free online consultations to discuss your child’s needs.
There are early warning signs that your child’s mouth is not growing correctly. These symptoms provide an early indication that your child may need braces, often before teeth start to come through crooked or crowded.
At Appledore Dental Clinic Dr Teresa likes to look at how your kids mouths are growing from around 4-5 years of age. She won’t necessarily recommend braces at that age, but she will advise how often they should visit their dentist in Milton Keynes to monitor their growth.
Children often start to get dental problems when their first grown up teeth start to come through at around age 6. This is a good age to start early interceptive treatment
When to start dental braces depends on a number of factors and each child will start at a different age. It’s best to initially fill in our online contact us form and ask for a FREE online video consultation with Dr Teresa, she will be able to advise you if your child need treatment to start now, or if you should wait and if there is anything you can do in the meantime.
