Generally, the best age to visit and orthodontist is around 8 or 9, or sooner if a problem is noticed. The reason for this is that orthodontic problems are much easier to correct when treatment is started at an early stage, and will definitely reduce the amount of time needed for the treatment.

Orthodontics can benefit anyone at any age, however at a younger age, any orthodontic treatment will ensure that your children are treated before further dental complications may develop.

With children’s teeth the types of braces which are used are generally metal or clear, with wires running through them. This creates the pressure which is needed in order to move the teeth. As this is a very gentle and steady pressure, the other main ingredient needed for a successful result is time!

During regular check-ups with Peter Grant, the wires on the braces are adjusted, to maintain the pressure as the treatment progresses. It is very exciting for children to see the positive changes to their own smile!
