Why Choose
Braces?
Braces help correct misalignment, overcrowding, and bite issues, improving both function and appearance. Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease. A well-aligned bite also prevents jaw discomfort and speech issues in the future.
Types of
Braces We Offer
We offer traditional metal braces, gold braces, known for their durability and effectiveness, as well as ceramic braces, which blend with natural teeth for a more discreet look. Our orthodontic specialists will help determine the best option based on your child’s needs.
The Braces
Treatment Process
Braces gently shift teeth into place over time. Treatment typically lasts 12 to 24 months, with adjustments every 6-10 weeks. Our team ensures a comfortable and efficient experience, keeping patients on track for a perfectly aligned smile.
Caring
for Braces
Good oral hygiene is essential during orthodontic treatment. We provide detailed guidance on brushing, flossing, and food choices to prevent damage and maintain healthy teeth. Regular check-ups help monitor progress and make adjustments as needed.
FAQ’s
-
At what age should my child get braces?
The ideal age for braces varies, but most children begin treatment between ages 9 and 14 when their permanent teeth have grown in. An early orthodontic evaluation around age 7 can help determine the best time to start treatment.
-
How long does my child need to wear braces?
The length of treatment depends on the complexity of the case but typically ranges from 12 to 24 months. Regular orthodontic visits and following care instructions can help keep treatment on track.

Do braces hurt?
Braces may cause mild discomfort when first applied or after adjustments, but this usually fades within a few days. Eating soft foods and using over-the-counter pain relief can help ease soreness.

What foods should my child avoid with braces?
It’s best to avoid hard foods that could be damaging—like hard candies, nuts, or chewing on ice. But don’t worry—your child can still enjoy most of their favorite foods, including popcorn and even chewing gum! Just remember to brush and floss carefully after meals.
