Straighten Your Smile with Confidence

Teeth that align properly are easier to clean and maintain, reducing strain on your jaws, gums, and dental work. Whether your child needs early guidance or you’re considering orthodontics for yourself, Vision Dental offers options to suit your stage of life.

Considering Braces for Kids and Teens

Early assessment is key for younger smiles. We often recommend orthopaedic growth-modifying appliances to guide jaw development before using braces. This process helps create a well-balanced facial profile and frequently prevents the need for later extractions.

Because habits matter, we work closely with an Oral Myologist to address factors like tongue posture, lip seal, thumb-sucking, and breathing patterns, which can affect jaw shape and bite long-term.

Wondering Which Option Is Right for You?

Your orthodontic journey begins with a consultation. Whether you’re exploring clear aligners, early interceptive care for your child, or traditional braces, we’ll help you understand what’s possible and practical for your situation. In routine exams, we also include orthodontic checks, so you’re always one step ahead.

Traditional Braces, Predictable Results

Traditional braces remain a go-to choice for a reason. They use fixed brackets and wires to apply steady pressure, gradually guiding teeth into place. Because they’re so precise, they’re ideal for moderate to severe alignment issues. While clear aligners have their appeal, metal braces are often the better option for complex cases.

Orthodontics FAQs

When should my child see an orthodontist?

Around age seven is ideal, but there’s no age limit—adults can benefit too.

How long does treatment take?

On average, it takes 12-24 months, depending on the complexity and type of braces used.

Braces or aligners—what’s the difference?

Braces are fixed and suitable for complex issues; aligners are clear and removable and best for milder cases.
