Orthodontic treatments, including traditional braces and clear aligners like Invisalign, help correct misaligned teeth and jaws, improving both appearance and function. The result is a beautifully aligned smile and enhanced oral health.
Misaligned teeth can affect more than just your child’s appearance—they can also impact their confidence, health, and ability to chew, bite, and speak properly. Early orthodontic treatment is essential to address these issues and ensure that your child develops a healthy, beautiful smile. At Cosmo Dental, we offer gentle and effective children’s orthodontic treatments, including braces, retainers, and early interceptive care, tailored to meet the unique needs of your child.
Braces are a traditional orthodontic treatment that uses brackets and wires to move your child’s teeth into a straighter and healthier position. We offer both metal braces and ceramic/clear braces, depending on your child’s preferences. Using 3M technology, a trusted global leader in orthodontics, we ensure that your child’s treatment is effective and comfortable.
In some cases, our orthodontist may recommend orthodontic appliances to help redirect the growth of your child’s teeth and jaw. These can be either fixed appliances, which are securely attached to the teeth, or removable appliances, which your child can take out during meals, sports, or when brushing. Both types of appliances play a critical role in ensuring proper alignment and growth.
Once your child has completed their braces treatment, we’ll prescribe a retainer to help maintain their newly aligned bite. Retainers are essential to prevent teeth from shifting back to their original positions. The type of retainer and the duration of use will depend on your child’s individual case.
Starting orthodontic care early can address potential issues before they become significant problems. We recommend early interceptive treatment for children as young as 6-7 years old. This may include braces, removing teeth to prevent crowding, or using oral appliances to guide healthy jaw growth, ultimately reducing the need for more extensive treatment later.
On average, children wear braces for one to three years, depending on their specific orthodontic needs. If your child undergoes early interceptive treatment, this may help reduce treatment time later, ensuring a smoother and faster overall process.
