Orthodontics for Children

Providing generations of straighter smiles at Ascent Dental Care Loughborough!

As your child grows and develops, their teeth may need orthodontic treatment (braces) to ensure that future development enables a beautiful, straight smile. At Ascent Dental Care Loughborough, we love to see and treat children with orthodontic problems.

We believe it to be a real privilege to help our younger patients towards a straighter smile that will provide health and confidence as they approach adulthood.

The treatment of children and fitting children’s braces should be carried out carefully and by experienced clinicians as teeth, jaws and soft tissues are still growing and developing. At Loughborough Dental & Implant Centre, we highly recommend that a child’s first visit for an orthodontic assessment takes place at around the age of 7yrs old, should a problem be detected. However, every child will be assessed based on individual needs and this is by no means a cut-off point.

The experienced team at Ascent Dental Care Loughborough have many years’ experience in providing braces and orthodontics for children and young people. Our patient, kind and caring approach means that families continue to bring generations of children to our practice

Common concerns for parents can include:

We will carry out a comprehensive assessment of your child’s growth and development. We may also advise on:

  • Breaking bad dental habits such as thumb/finger sucking
  • Problems with nail biting
  • Provision of protective sports guard for contact sports if required.

It is important that interceptive and proactive treatment is provided on young, growing children in order to improve a poorly developing dentition. A straighter smile and functional dentition (bite) will have a hugely positive impact on your child’s self-esteem and confidence as they enter adulthood.

Orthodontics for children really is a great investment for their future life.

As a rule of thumb, most children will be fitted with traditional fixed braces as these offer the best tried and tested results in terms of both appearance and compliance. However, for young people we are able to use many of our adult braces systems, such as:

  • Invisalign
  • Six Month Smiles
  • Incognito
  • Damon
  • InVu
  • Inman Aligner
