Getting a child’s smile straightened at a young age not only boosts their confidence but also sets them up for a lifetime of excellent dental health. At Issaqueena Pediatric Dentistry, we specialize in crafting customized orthodontic solutions tailored to your child’s unique needs. Read on to learn more about how modern customized braces gently guide growing teeth into proper alignment.
Standard braces, available in both clear and metal options, are traditional orthodontic appliances designed to straighten teeth and correct jaw alignment issues. These braces work by applying consistent pressure to gradually move teeth into their proper positions, promoting a healthier, more aligned smile.
At Issaqueena Pediatric Dentistry, we provide high-quality pediatric orthodontic care at our Powdersville office. Our standard braces are customized to meet each child's unique needs, ensuring effective treatment for a wide range of dental concerns, including crowded teeth, spacing issues, and bite misalignments.
Standard braces consist of brackets attached to the teeth and connected with metal or clear wires. Our orthodontic team periodically adjusts these wires to maintain steady pressure, guiding the teeth into their ideal alignment over time. This gentle and gradual process not only improves the appearance of the smile but also supports overall oral health.
Braces are versatile tools that provide a wide range of tooth alignment options for children and teens, especially those with crowded or crooked teeth, as overcrowding can hinder proper brushing and flossing while negatively affecting the appearance of their smile:
