What Are Children Braces?

Children braces are a braces treatment that is exclusively for children between 6 and 12 years old. Children’s braces differ from adult braces because they are often focused on preventative orthodontic treatment, eliminating treatments that would otherwise be necessary when the child is older.

R3dental The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children first visit an orthodontist around the age of seven; however, orthodontic treatment is not exclusive to children and teens, with about one in every five orthodontic patients being over the age of 21.

Children Braces is a Phase 1 Treatment

Orthodontic treatments are often separated into phase 1 and phase 2 treatments. Phase 1 treatment is performed before all of a child’s permanent teeth have erupted. This can help ensure that a patient’s teeth develop properly, and can minimize or eliminate the need for any future orthodontic treatments, which would be phase 2 treatments. Children’s braces can be used as a phase 1 treatment to meet these goals.

How Long Are Children Braces Worn For?

The length of children braces treatment will depend on the amount of work that needs to be done. Your orthodontist will review the specifics with you and cover everything you need to know during your appointment.

What Types of Braces Are Used?

The type of braces used will be determined at your orthodontic consultation and finalized between yourself and the orthodontist. The determination is based on clinical findings and treatment goals.

Will Braces Interfere With My School Activities?

Playing an instrument or a contact sport may require some adjustment when you first get your braces, but wearing braces will not stop you from participating in any of your school activities. If you play a contact sport, it is recommended that you wear a mouth guard to protect your braces or appliance.

To prevent the need for significant dental work in the future, we may recommend children’s braces for some of our patients. R3 Dental Group offers braces treatments for all ages and welcomes patients from Silver Spring, Germantown, Bowie, and Bethesda, MD.
