Does my child need braces?

It is very common for children to have alignment issues and problems with the bite and we are often able to detect signs from a very early age. It is usually best to treat teenagers, rather than waiting until they are older because treatment works faster, the outcome is better and early treatment enables children to enjoy the benefits of treatment sooner. It is possible for adults to have treatment, but as orthodontic problems tend to get worse with time, treatment usually takes longer and the results are sometimes not as good.

If your child needs braces, we will discuss this with you and highlight the issues and explain how braces could help and what benefits treatment would bring.

The advantages of fixed orthodontics

Orthodontic treatment has a host of benefits for teenagers and it can really make a difference to confidence levels, as well as oral function. Orthodontic issues can affect speech, facial aesthetics and the ability to eat, as well as the look of the smile and treatment helps to resolve these issues.

Fixed braces are a tried and tested solution and they are guaranteed to produce excellent results. Modern braces are light and much less cumbersome than they used to be and they are also more comfortable. With a straight smile, children can feel more confident and they don’t have to worry about comments from others.

Payment plans at Dublin18 Dental Care

We offer flexible payment options to make orthodontic treatment more affordable for parents, including payment plans, which allow you to spread the cost of treatment and pay the total in monthly instalments.

Fixed Orthodontics For Children And Teenagers Near Ballsbridge

Nowadays, there is a great deal of emphasis on the new breed of orthodontic treatments, with many people opting for invisible braces and removable aligners, but fixed braces are still very popular and they have successfully treated thousands of people over the course of several decades. Fixed braces remain a very popular choice for children and teenage patients and modern braces have a wealth of benefits for younger patients.

About fixed braces

Fixed braces are made up of brackets and wires, which generate forces to move the teeth over the course of time. In most cases, treatment with fixed braces takes at least 12 months but the exact treatment time is dependent on the complexity of the orthodontic prescription and the amount of movement required.

Fixed braces are attached to the teeth and they can only be removed by a dentist; once they are in place, the treatment process is very simple and all you have to do is attend regular check-ups. Occasionally, the braces may be adjusted or tightened.

Fixed braces are beneficial because they are suitable for patients with a wide range of orthodontic problems and they are a great choice for those with complex needs, as they provide a lot of support and bring about much more movement than some of the more popular cosmetic systems.

Are fixed braces painful?

Fixed braces have a bad name because they don’t look that attractive and people assume that they are very painful, but modern braces are much more delicate than older styles and you can choose from different colours. When you first have braces fitted it is normal for them to feel tight and painful, but you will be advised to take painkillers and the pain should subside once your mouth starts to adjust to the braces; you may also experience discomfort when you have your braces tightened, but again this should subside quickly.
