Lethbridge Child Braces

Help! My child needs braces...

Yes, your child may need braces. We know what you’re thinking! Long hours spent in the dentist’s chair, train tracks whenever your child smiles, headgear and other painful awkward devices.

Well, Orthodontic technology has advanced well beyond those outdated methods. Today, there are several orthodontic options for children which are both effective, faster and much less visible than more traditional methods.

Treating misaligned teeth is about more than creating a more cosmetically pleasing smile. They can cause a host of problems, from sleep apnea to jaw soreness to headaches.

A qualified cosmetic dentist can determine whether your child needs braces. There are many options to choose from:

Tooth-colored ceramic braces which blend into your child’s teeth.
Lingual braces can be placed behind the teeth.
Some metal braces offer bright colors--popular among pre-teens and teenagers.

The days of metal braces are over. You can relax - if your child needs braces, they can be virtually invisible.

We all want the best for our children. Ensure your child receives the best care possible through a qualified cosmetic dentist. Lingual braces, for instance, require specific training. Dr. Lachman is a graduate of the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies, and is specifically trained in the most up-to-date orthodontic methods. If your child does need braces, Dr. Lachman can help you determine which type will be best suited for your child’s needs.
