Dental Braces

All About Dental Braces

Dental braces are orthodontic devices that are used to correct the teeth and jaw structures. You may have misaligned teeth as a result of genetics, accidents or injuries, irregular gaps within the teeth, etc. which results in bad chewing patterns and spoils the overall aesthetics of your face. At Grand Smiles Dental, the leading Katy dental clinic, we are here to help with a wide array of orthodontic treatment options.

Dental braces, also referred to as Orthodontic Braces, are commonly recommended for children and teens by the orthodontists at our Katy dental clinic, though adults suffering from teeth and jaw imperfections can also utilize dental braces.

What is the right age for orthodontic treatments?

According to studies and research, people inherit malocclusion, tooth spacing, misalignments, and other tooth alignment problems genetically. There are other reasons for them like accidents or premature loss of teeth. Since such abnormalities start showing up between 6 to 12 years of age, the ideal age to bring your child to our Katy dental clinic as early as 8 if you see any signs of dental problems.

To achieve optimal outcomes, orthodontic braces should be put on at a very early age. The bones are still soft at when young so they can be more easily molded into the correct positions. At our Katy dental clinic, we suggest you bring your child for regular check-ups early on so that we can check for any possible dental or jaw related problems.
