Braces for children

Braces for children – quick and easy bite correction

According to global dental statistics, approximately half of all children worldwide have bite problems. Crooked teeth, misaligned jaws, crowding, or excessive gaps are not only aesthetic flaws, but also risk factors for chewing function, diction, and the healthy development of the entire dentofacial system.

Doctors working in pediatric dentistry rightly consider braces to be one of the most effective ways to correct bite problems, since jaws are particularly susceptible to orthodontic correction during the growth period. For children and their parents, a braces system installed at the right time is the optimal solution, allowing you to quickly and inexpensively get rid of orthodontic problems. It helps to form a correct dental arch, prevents future complications, and ensures the harmonious development of teeth and jaws.

The orthodontist at «Club 32», a family dentistry clinic in the Holosiivskyi district of Kyiv, has extensive experience in installing children's braces. Our clinic has created the ideal conditions for your child to feel relaxed and not afraid of treatment. The fairy-tale interior of the children's office, introductory visits, cartoons during procedures, toys, and certificates as gifts - all this turns your child's visit to us into a joyful and exciting adventure.

In addition, you can pay for both the cost of children's braces and the orthodontist's services in installments and without overpaying.

Why does a child need braces?

The main task of braces is to ensure the correct growth of the jaws and the symmetrical position of the teeth.

A harmonious bite affects not only the aesthetics of the smile, but also the health of the entire child's body. Disorders in the development of the dentofacial system inevitably lead to uneven distribution of load on the teeth, damage and accelerated abrasion of the enamel, impaired diction, and even digestive problems.

Timely and competent installation of dental braces for children guarantees the normalization of the position of the teeth, helps the jaws to develop harmoniously, and ensures the dental health of the child for decades to come.

It is important to remember that children's teeth and jaws are very mobile. Therefore, bite correction in children is much faster. In addition, the cost of installing braces for a child is significantly lower than for adults. This is due to both the requirements for the braces themselves and the shorter duration of treatment.

Indications and contraindications for installing braces for children

Indications for installing braces on children's teeth include:

• crowded teeth
• gaps and diastemas
• asymmetry of the dental arches
• deep, open, or crossbite

Braces are also indicated for children in clinics in Kyiv and other cities in Ukraine in cases of incorrect eruption of permanent teeth, midline displacement, chewing dysfunction, and mouth breathing.

Timely professional orthodontic care allows you to control jaw growth and guide the formation of the bite into a physiologically correct position.

Contraindications include active inflammatory processes in the oral cavity, severe periodontal disease, decompensated systemic diseases, poor home hygiene, and pronounced bad habits (thumb sucking, lip biting). Before starting treatment, the orthodontist at «Club 32» will conduct a consultation to assess the condition of the child's teeth and jaws, determine whether braces can be installed, and provide an approximate price for treatment.

Types of children's braces

• Metal - the classic option. They are the most affordable and suitable for solving all orthodontic problems. The only drawback is that they are very noticeable in the mouth.
• Ceramic braces are more aesthetic and expensive, hypoallergenic, but more fragile than metal ones. Therefore, they may not be suitable for complex bite abnormalities. The final decision on their use is made by the orthodontist.
• Sapphire braces are a premium solution with perfect aesthetics and durability. They are completely transparent and virtually invisible on the teeth. The only drawback is their high cost.
• Self-ligating systems work without ligatures (special rubber bands that attach the brackets to the orthodontic arch). These systems optimize pressure on the teeth and reduce the number of visits to the clinic during treatment.
• Lingual systems are installed on the inner side of the teeth. They are primarily intended for correcting the position of teeth in a formed permanent bite and require high discipline in hygiene, so their use is only possible in certain adolescents with completed or almost completed jaw growth and in the presence of strict indications.
• Combined systems – capable of simultaneously correcting the position of the teeth and guiding the growth of the jaws. They are used to treat younger children.

The choice of orthodontic appliance depends on the type of malocclusion, anatomy, age, and the expected duration of treatment.

Stages of installing dental braces for children

• Initial consultation with an orthodontist
• Diagnostics, photo protocol, bite analysis, and digital scanning of the jaws are performed. Indications for treatment are assessed, and recommendations are given on the type of system
• Treatment plan and preparation of the oral cavity
• Before installing braces on a child, the doctor performs oral sanitation: caries treatment, tartar removal, correction of bad habits, and hygiene training
• Braces fixation
• The orthodontist installs the system according to an individual digital plan. The procedure is painless and takes about an hour
• System correction
• Periodic visits allow you to monitor tooth movement and, if necessary, change the arches or adjust the system
• Completion of treatment and retention phase
• After the system is removed, the child receives retainers - devices that secure the result and prevent the teeth from returning to their original pathological position

Advantages of installing braces for a child

• correction of complex bite abnormalities at an early age
• quick results thanks to the high plasticity of bone tissue

• prevention of enamel and tissue damage
• improvement of the child's self-esteem
