Teen | Tween Braces
Does your Tween still have any baby teeth? If not, he or she is most likely ready to start braces. Generally, I would like to see your child before the last couple of baby teeth come loose. If you aren't sure, come to my office for a complimentary consultation.
Important: Don't wait too long! I want to plan your child's treatment around his or her growth spurt for the best results in orthopedic jaw alignment. Children's bone and muscle structures develop rapidly at this age, providing a window of opportunity. Register your Tween/Teen as a new patient for a complimentary consultation.
I use only high quality orthodontic appliances. I recommend metal, for speed and strength.

What to expect
We begin with a complimentary free consultation. I will do a clinical examination to determine if your child is a candidate for braces.
Next is taking records – we will take photos, x-rays, and impressions. I will use this information to develop a precise treatment plan which we will discuss prior to starting any work. We may place a separator between the back molar teeth in preparation for molar bands.
Next, on your child's next visit, molar bands are fitted and cemented, depending on availability when indicated, We can bond brackets on the other teeth as well.
You can help your child's smile by encouraging him or her to develop good habits. If rubber bands are prescribed, they must be worn 24 hours a day, except while eating or brushing teeth. Otherwise a less than ideal orthodontic result will occur.
Good oral hygiene is important for avoiding dental decay and white scars on teeth.
