Braces for Children and Teens in SE Calgary

Braces are an orthodontic treatment commonly used during childhood and adolescence to guide teeth into improved alignment and support proper bite development. At White Oak Dental, braces are offered for children and teens as part of a comprehensive orthodontic care approach.

Orthodontic treatment during these stages may help address alignment and bite concerns while the teeth and jaws are still developing.

When Braces May Be Recommended for Children and Teens

Braces may be recommended to help address:

  • Crowded or overlapping teeth
  • Spacing concerns
  • Bite alignment issues
  • Tooth positioning that may affect function or oral hygiene

Orthodontic recommendations are based on individual assessment and consider dental development, jaw growth, and overall oral health.

Early Orthodontic Assessment and Timing

An orthodontic evaluation may be recommended during childhood to monitor tooth and jaw development. In some cases, early assessment helps determine the appropriate timing for treatment, whether braces are needed immediately or at a later stage.

Not all children require early orthodontic treatment. Our team provides guidance based on clinical findings and developmental factors.

How Braces Work

Braces apply controlled, gradual pressure to move teeth into improved positions over time. Treatment plans are tailored to each child or teen, and progress is monitored through regular visits.

Adjustments are made throughout treatment to support effective and safe tooth movement.

A Supportive Experience for Children and Families

At White Oak Dental, we understand that orthodontic treatment is a commitment for both children and families. Our team takes time to explain each step of care, answer questions, and help families feel informed and supported throughout treatment.
