Amid the buzz and excitement of cosmetic braces, the amazing range of benefits offered by traditional fixed braces may be forgotten. However, it’s worth noting that these braces have been around for many years and are very much a tried and tested option for patients with moderate and complex orthodontic needs. At Dublin18 Dental Care we provide a range of orthodontic treatment options for patients of all ages.

Fixed braces for children

It is often beneficial for children to undergo orthodontic treatment at an early age, as issues get worse with time and it is best for younger patients to be able to start enjoying the many benefits of orthodontic treatment as early as possible. We have been treating children for many years at the practice and we understand the importance of clear explanations, answering questions and helping to ease fears that children may have when they are told that they would benefit from wearing braces. We know that getting braces fitted can be a daunting and unappealing prospect, but we are here to help and we promise that treatment will definitely be worthwhile.

Fixed braces are ideal for children because they are guaranteed to work, they are convenient and they are suitable for children with the most complex orthodontic prescriptions. Modern, cosmetic braces have an array of perks, but the success of treatment is often dependent on the patient remembering to wear their brace for a certain period of time, or take it out and then swap it for another appliance, and this is not always the easiest option for children.
