Children Orthodontics FAQs

When should my child first see an orthodontist?

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first check-up by age 7. At this age, we can spot early signs of jaw growth or bite issues—even if your child doesn’t need treatment yet.

Does my child really need braces this early?

Not always. Early evaluations help us determine the best time for treatment. Some children benefit from early intervention, while others are better suited for later phases. We only recommend treatment when it’s truly beneficial.

Will it hurt?

Orthodontic treatment has come a long way! Most kids experience only mild discomfort when braces or aligners are first placed or adjusted. We use gentle, kid-friendly techniques to make the experience as comfortable as possible.

What’s the difference between Phase 1 and Phase 2 treatment?

Phase 1 is early treatment (ages 7–10) to correct jaw growth, spacing, or bite issues. Phase 2 typically happens in the early teen years to align all permanent teeth. Some kids only need one phase—others benefit from both.

How long will treatment take?

It varies! Early treatment might last 6–12 months. Full treatment (usually around age 11–13) generally lasts 12–24 months. You’ll receive a clear plan and timeline during your child’s consultation.

Will insurance cover it?

Many dental insurance plans include orthodontic coverage for children. We’ll check your benefits and help file claims so you can focus on your child—not paperwork.

What if my child is nervous or anxious?

That’s totally normal! We specialize in working with kids and create a warm, welcoming environment to help them feel safe and at ease. We take our time and explain everything in a way they can understand.

Can my child still play sports or instruments with braces?

Yes! We’ll provide a mouthguard for sports, and most kids adjust quickly to playing wind instruments. We’ll guide you through everything.
