Braces for children

Some children can benefit from using braces before their teenage years. If your Specialist Orthodontist thinks your child could use braces, here are some of the options you can consider.

Braces for children

Traditional metal braces

Metal braces are the original method of orthodontic treatment. They consist of small metal brackets bonded to the front of the teeth, and thin metal archwires that connect them. Small elastics are placed around the brackets to move your teeth into position with gentle pressure.

Ceramic braces

Ceramic braces work just like metal braces but are made of clear ceramic. This helps them blend in with the colour of your child’s teeth when they smile.
