Frequently Asked Questions
What age should my child start orthodontic treatment?
The best age can vary, but generally an initial evaluation is recommended by age 7 to assess the need for early orthodontic intervention.
What issues can be fixed with orthodontic treatment?
- Correct crooked teeth, guiding them into their perfect positions.
- Fix overbites, underbites, and crossbites.
- Making room for permanent teeth.
- Stop thumb sucking or tongue thrusting that can affect dental development.
- Tackle gummy smiles to enhance the appearance of your child’s smile.
Are clear aligners suitable for all children?
Clear aligners, like Spark, are ideal for older kids and teenagers who can commit to wearing them consistently. We can determine if they are the best option during a consultation.
What are TADs and how do they help in orthodontics?
Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs) are small implants used in certain orthodontic cases to achieve more precise tooth movement and optimal results, especially when traditional methods are limited.
How long does orthodontic treatment usually last?
Treatment duration varies based on the needs of each child but typically ranges from 1-3 years.
Can my child still play sports with braces?
Absolutely! We recommend a protective mouthguard for sports, which we can provide and fit specifically for use with braces.
