How Do I Know If My Child Needs Braces?

here are many key indicators that can help determine if braces are right for your child, including:

• Your child’s teeth appear crowded or crooked
• Your child’s jaw shifts or make noises
• Your child commonly bites the sides or roof of his or her mouth
• Your child often struggles to chew food
• Your child frequently breathes through his or her mouth

The orthodontic professionals at The Super Dentist can work with you and your child to determine the feasibility of braces. We realize that getting braces is one of life’s most anxious times – especially for children! Our careful, collaborative process ensures that you and your child come first, and we’ll gladly answer any questions you have about braces.

If your son or daughter encounters any of these issues, you should consider a pediatric orthodontic evaluation to determine if braces will serve as a viable option to help him or her overcome such problems. The Super Dentists can let you know if your child needs braces or another treatment to help with their dental issue.
