Braces for kids are designed to impact both the look and function of your child’s teeth. It can be easy to think of braces simply as a tool to get your child a straight, beautiful smile. Kid's braces can have a big impact on how your child’s teeth look, but that is only one potential reason kids need braces.

Child braces are also used to correct issues such as misaligned bite, overcrowded teeth, unevenly spaced teeth, overbite, underbite and open bite. Other issues that lead to difficulty with daily activities like eating and talking

Getting braces for your kids to take care of these problems can prevent them from dealing with a number of negative consequences that come with teeth and jaw issues.

Early orthodontic intervention can also help prevent many issues. Our orthodontist can look at the imaging of your child’s adult teeth and spot potential problems that can be avoided with braces or other interventions.
