Children's Orthodontics

"Dr. Aubin, why do kids wear braces?"

It's not surprising that many teenagers wear braces. Dental experts estimate that more than two-thirds of the population need braces to correct problems that occur, including teeth that protrude or are crooked, teeth that overlap and crowd each other, and teeth that have gaps between them. In addition, some children need braces to align their teeth and correct their bite. Whatever the condition, children recognize that they will enhance their appearance in the long term. Parents know that they are actually making an investment in their child's health and appearance.   To read more about children's orthodontics:  Children's Orthodontics  What Happens If Kids Don't Wear Braces?  When Should My Child Visit an Orthodontist?  Smile - Straight Teeth In Progress!
