3 Reasons to Think About Braces Now
Have you ever wondered what the magic age is for your child to start down the braces path?
Here’s why you might want to start looking at them much earlier than you think:
When do I need to start thinking about braces for my child?
Anytime between ages 6-12.
It may feel like seven years old is too early to think about orthodontics, and while every child’s mouth is different — your pediatric dentist can tell you if it is time for an orthodontic consultation.
Thinking about it now might just save you risk and expense in the long run.
How long does treatment take?
It depends from patient to patient, but the average length of time is 18-24 months.
Do braces hurt?
The first week with braces on can be hard as your child adjusts to them, but it gets progressively better thereafter.

How much does it cost:
Cost depends on what kind of braces, and how long your child needs to wear them. We do accept most insurance plans, and also offer in-office financing options. Please call to set up a no-obligation free consultation, where we can give you an accurate estimate for your child’s care.
How often will we need to visit the dentist for braces?
We recommend once every 6 weeks.
