Orthodontic treatment is the process of moving teeth to a more desirable position. Here at Epic Dentistry for Kids we use clear aligners for most of our orthodontic patients. They are more comfortable and usually a much faster way to improve a smile. Just let us know if you are interested in straightening your child’s teeth. We are happy to help!
At what age should children get orthodontics?
This is a common question. The answer is, it depends. Some tooth position problems are best corrected before the teenage years. However, for other issues, it is better to wait. Our doctor would be happy to give you a consultation and teach you which option is best for your situation.
Are orthodontics painful?
They don’t have to be. Technology in this field advances very quickly. Current orthodontic techniques are far more comfortable than the techniques used even ten years ago. Be assured that if you have orthodontic treatment at Epic Dentistry for Kids, we will make every effort to keep it comfortable.
What other benefits are there to having orthodontics?
Of course, the most noticeable benefit of straightening teeth is an improved smile. However, some benefits that are often overlooked are dental health. Straight teeth are easier to keep clean than crowded teeth. Additionally, orthodontics can help improve someone’s bite and chewing function. Drop by for a consultation, and our doctor will help you understand how orthodontic treatment will assist your family.
