Children’s braces ensure more than just an attractive smile - resulting straight teeth allow for proper cleaning, and will help prevent gum disease, bad breath and tooth decay. It’s more than just about ‘aesthetics’ and school photos!

Children typically get braces from 10 years and upwards. If they are a responsible teenager, Invisalign - clear plastic aligners - might be an appropriate option. You can read more about the difference between Invisalign and braces here.
There are various types of children orthodontic treatments and they can include - palatal expanders (to stretch overcrowded teeth or minimise the potential for overcrowding of teeth), metal braces (traditional), ceramic braces (clear) and lingual braces (placed behind the teeth).
Invisalign puts a lot of the responsibility on the wearer - i.e. to be effective they must be worn at least 22 hours each day. Relying on children to put them back in after eating or to actually wear them full time while in school is a big weight to bear for little shoulders!
