Well-aligned teeth have fewer tight overlaps where food and plaque collect, so brushing and flossing become simpler once treatment is over.
Straightening teeth for children, teenagers and adults in the same family
Parents often notice it first: a child’s new teeth coming in crowded, a jaw that looks set forward or back, or a teenager who hides their smile in photographs. Many adults ask for themselves too, having missed treatment when they were younger.
At Nitro Dentists in Ghatkopar West, MDS Orthodontists assess orthodontic needs and provide clear aligners as well as ceramic and metal braces for children, teenagers and adults.
The right appliance depends on the problem, the age of the patient and how reliably it will be worn. The orthodontist goes through this with the family before treatment begins.
Well-aligned teeth have fewer tight overlaps where food and plaque collect, so brushing and flossing become simpler once treatment is over.
Correcting how the upper and lower teeth meet can spread chewing forces better. The orthodontist will explain which bite problems can be improved and which have limits.
Metal braces, tooth-coloured ceramic braces and removable clear aligners are all available. Each has trade-offs in appearance, upkeep and the kind of movement it handles well.
Younger children: an early orthodontic check, around the age of seven, is commonly recommended. Most children need no treatment at that stage. A few benefit from interceptive care while the jaws are still growing, for example to guide jaw growth or make room for incoming teeth.
Teenagers: this is the most usual time for full braces or aligners, once most adult teeth have come through. Fixed braces work round the clock and do not rely on the child remembering to wear them. Aligners suit teenagers who are disciplined about keeping them in.
Adults: teeth can be moved at any age if the gums and supporting bone are healthy. Gum disease, missing teeth and old crowns are assessed first. Ceramic braces and clear aligners are popular with working adults because they are less noticeable.
Every case starts with an examination, photographs and X-rays where needed. Treatment length varies with the complexity of the case, commonly from several months to a couple of years, with review visits at regular intervals. Some soreness for a few days after each adjustment or new aligner is expected.
After the active phase, retainers are needed to hold the teeth in place. Without them, teeth tend to drift back. This is true for children and adults alike.
Get StartedWe speak to the child as well as to you. They hear, in simple terms, what the appliance does, what they must do each day and what they cannot eat for a while. Children who understand the reason usually cope far better with the routine.
