Braces for kids, also known as orthodontic braces, are devices used by orthodontists to correct misaligned teeth and jaws in children and teenagers. Braces typically consist of metal brackets that are glued to the teeth and connected by wires. They apply gentle pressure over time to gradually move the teeth into the desired position.
While metal braces are the most common type, there are also ceramic braces, which are less noticeable, and clear aligners, such as Invisalign, which are removable and nearly invisible. The choice of braces depends on various factors, including the severity of the orthodontic issue, the child’s preference, and the orthodontist’s recommendation.
It’s essential for kids wearing braces to maintain good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing regularly, as braces can trap food particles and lead to tooth decay and gum disease if not properly cared for. Regular visits to the orthodontist are also necessary for adjustments and monitoring progress.
