Braces for Children

Parents have a lot of questions and you should. We are here to answer!

 

  1. Will those spaces close?
  2. Are my son’s jaws fitting together right?
  3. At what age should my daughter be losing her baby teeth?
  4. In which order should they come out?
  5. What happens if my little guy doesn’t get braces?
  6. Is my little princess’s mouth growing like it should be?
  7. Will my kids even need braces?



Each child has their own individual needs and our team will be watching closely recommending the best care for your little guy/girl.

Schedule your consultation today and take the first step in transforming your child's smile.

Making Your Child Comfortable

At Cenkner & Dahar our doctors will evaluate your child’s facial pattern to look for proper balance, symmetry, and growth.

They'll count the number of teeth, take appropriate X-rays, and make sure that you know where, when, and how to go about helping your child get all of their teeth into a great smile with correct alignment.

Along the way, we’ll advise your family on how to minimize any problems that come while children grow into their faces and jaws.


Most importantly, the doctors want to ensure every child feels comfortable getting check-ups before the actual treatment is needed.  We believe that getting good results, regardless of the type of treatment, starts with a good Doctor/Patient relationship.

Observation

No treatment. This is a very important treatment decision. A time to take a step back and observe a child’s facial and dental development every six months.

This will help the doctors decide the best option when/if treatment is needed after all the teeth have come in. Most kids will fall into this category as we wait it out to make sure things progress normally.

Phase 1

A few brackets on key teeth to make space for incoming adult teeth or to make minor movements for improvement. These movements help close up big spaces, fix cross-bites, or help prevent anything that could potentially harm the gums, teeth, or bite.

This phase is essentially a basic braces quick-fix followed by a retainer. Because these beginning – Phase I – braces are typically followed by normal teenage/adult braces, we try to make this experience as fun and noninvasive as possible.

Expanders

Expanders will slowly expand the jaws to make room for teeth while getting the back teeth into proper alignment.

Don’t worry, during your free consultation, Dr. Cenkner will explain why, when, if, and how these are used.
