What to Expect at Your Child’s First Ortho Visit
When you bring your child to Dental Kidz Club for their first orthodontic appointment, the experience is designed to be welcoming, informative, and reassuring. During the visit, your child will receive a full oral evaluation, which includes digital X-rays to give our team a clear picture of their developing teeth and jaw. From there, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan tailored to their specific growth stage and orthodontic needs. We take the time to walk you through the plan, explaining each step and answering your questions so that you know exactly what to expect.
Benefits of Early Orthodontic Intervention
Bringing your child to an orthodontist around age seven can provide lasting benefits that go far beyond straight teeth. Early orthodontic care allows us to identify and address problems before they become more serious. By guiding jaw development and creating space for incoming permanent teeth, we can often avoid the need for more invasive procedures later on. Early treatment also helps correct harmful oral habits like thumb-sucking or tongue thrusting that may affect your child’s bite and facial symmetry.
Braces Care Tips for Kids
Once your child begins orthodontic treatment, good care habits are key to making the journey successful. It’s important that they brush their teeth after every meal and floss daily to keep their teeth and gums healthy around the braces. Sticky or hard foods should be avoided, as they can break wires or brackets and delay progress. If your child experiences any irritation from the braces, orthodontic wax can offer comfort until adjustments are made. For those wearing aligners or retainers, consistent use as directed is crucial to staying on track.

Treatment duration varies, but most children wear braces for 18–24 months. We’ll give you a personalized timeline during the consultation.
