Your Lloydminster Choice for Pediatric Braces!
Many children are uncertain about getting braces. On the one hand, they like the idea of perfect teeth, but on the other hand, they are nervous about whether the braces will cause pain and discomfort. The positive aspect is that wearing dental braces will result in a beautiful, straight smile, and the process is completely painless. At Tooth Suite, we’re pleased to offer braces for children in Lloydminster to our pediatric patients, providing gentle, effective care to help them achieve confident, healthy smiles.
What is Involved When A Child Gets Braces
The orthodontist initially examines the child’s teeth visually. This will be accompanied by panoramic X-rays, study models (bite impressions), and computer-generated images of the head and neck. Because these first evaluations help the orthodontist diagnose patients and determine the best course of treatment, they are sometimes referred to as the planning phase. If you’re looking for a dentist near you, Tooth Suite Family Dentistry in Lloydminster offers trusted pediatric orthodontic services to guide your child through every step of their smile journey.
An orthodontist will frequently advise a child to wear fixed orthodontic braces. Treatment is finished faster with fixed braces since they cannot be lost, forgotten, or taken off at will. It is also possible to use removable appliances, which are less invasive and typically used to correct different kinds of flaws. If you’re searching for braces for children near you, Tooth Suite Family Dentistry in Lloydminster is here to help with expert pediatric orthodontic care tailored to your child’s needs.
What Are The Main Types of Orthodontic Appliances Used For Children?
- Fixed Braces—Braces are brackets that are affixed to each tooth. An archwire connects the brackets. The brackets are typically composed of translucent synthetic material that is less visible to the naked eye, metal, or ceramic. The child should visit the orthodontist regularly after receiving braces to have them adjusted. To help with the movement of particular teeth, orthodontic elastic bands are frequently added to the braces. At Tooth Suite Family Dentistry, we proudly offer braces for children in Lloydminster, providing personalized orthodontic care to support your child’s growing smile.
- Headgear—The most effective usage of this kind of equipment is for treating irregularities in development. To help with tooth movement, headgear is a specially designed device that is worn on a wire. To achieve the desired effects, headgear must be worn as directed for 12 to 20 hours every day.
- Retainers—Retainers are commonly used during the third phase (retention phase). When the original malocclusion has been addressed with braces, the teeth must not revert to their original misalignment. By wearing a retainer, the jawbone surrounding the teeth has an opportunity to settle, and the teeth are guaranteed to remain in their correct alignment.
