How Orthodontic Treatment Works for Kids
Take the first step toward a healthier, happier smile.
At Kids Dental Town, your child’s journey to a healthier smile begins with a personalized treatment plan. During their first visit, we assess their teeth and gums to ensure they’re ready for braces. For growing kids, we also consider their developing teeth and jaw to create the best possible plan.
At their next appointment, we’ll carefully place the braces, making sure your child feels comfortable and understands what to expect every step of the way.
Once the braces are on, we’ll teach them how to properly care for their new smile. Regular check-ins every few weeks will help us make necessary adjustments, gradually guiding their teeth into alignment.
When treatment is complete, we’ll safely remove the braces, revealing a beautifully straight smile! We’ll also provide post-treatment guidance to help maintain their results for years to come.
