When Does a Child Need Braces?

Children may require braces if they experience:

• Crowded or Overlapping Teeth – Making it difficult to clean properly.
• Bite Issues – Overbite, underbite, or crossbite affecting chewing and speaking.
• Early or Late Loss of Baby Teeth – Leading to spacing issues.
• Gaps Between Teeth – That may cause misalignment as permanent teeth grow.
• Speech or Chewing Difficulties – Due to improper dental alignment.
