Getting Braces?
What you need to know
How early can you get braces?
Orthodontic treatment is commonly started once most of the child’s adult teeth have begun to erupt – this is usually around 12 years of age. However, some children as young as 10 can have braces. Invisalign First, designed specifically for growing mouths is available for ages as young as six.
What's the right age for braces?
Children most commonly begin their orthodontic treatment between the ages of 10 and 14. Whilst there’s no perfect age to begin realigning the smile, it is best to straighten teeth whilst the bones in the jaw are still developing, which will make the process a bit more easier. There are some cases, where children can benefit from earlier or later treatment, but all of this is usually assessed during your check-ups.
Are braces available on the NHS for under 18s?
Braces are not free for adults on the NHS. However, children with a clinical need under the age of 18 have the right to free braces treatment via the NHS. However, with a shortage of NHS dentists up and down the country, waiting lists are very long, if you actually manage to track down a dentist.
Why is it important to straighten teeth?
Misaligned teeth are not purely a cosmetic problem. Crooked teeth are often problematic in the fact that they can increase your risk of developing gum disease, a condition, which if ignored can lead to tooth loss, receding gums, bad breath and bleeding gums.
Do children's braces always work?
Braces are successful in realigning a wide variety of bite problems and malocclusions. That said, when the braces come off, it’s you and your child, who are responsible for upkeeping their results. To prevent the teeth shifting back into their original spaces and avoiding retention, it’s recommended to wear a retainer 12-18 months following your treatment, but some orthodontists recommend wearing one for life for the best result
Are braces available in other colours?
Braces for teenagers can be made fun and less stigmatised when you adopt a colour. Fixed metal braces, for example, come in a range of colours from bright to subtle shades. You can even choose transparent. You’ll also have the option to swap colours every six to eight weeks during your check-up appointments.
What to do if your teenager is self conscious about getting braces?
We understand the stigma of metal braces better than anyone. For teenagers, at a time where their appearance is particularly important, metal braces might make them feel self-conscious, stereotyped and judged. As the parent, work with your child to find the best option that reassures them about their treatment. For example, innovative, invisible, modern options like Invisalign are a trendy option.
