A beautiful smile together with straight teeth that function well can have a tremendous effect on children’s self esteem

If you are self-conscious about your teeth or your mates at school tease you, YOU can do something about it. See an orthodontist to give you real confidence.

Fixed Braces are the most common type of orthodontic braces

They are often known as ‘train tracks’.The advantages are that they are able to fine-tune the position of the teeth reliably and with modern sophisticated designs, they are smaller and relatively fast-acting to reduce treatment time.

The main types of fixed braces are:

1. Metal/Stainless Steel Fixed Braces
2. Tooth Coloured/Ceramic Braces

Removable Braces Invisalign Teen®

Invisalign Teen® takes a modern approach to straightening teeth. With a series of clear removable aligners that gradually straighten your teeth, Invisalign Teen is comfortable, affordable and effective. Without brackets and wires, you’ll have the confidence of a great smile even during treatment. Each aligner also comes with a small, inconspicuous Blue Dot Wear Indicator, which helps you know if you’re ready for your next set of aligners.

Invisalign Teen has the added advantage that you can continue brushing and flossing the way you normally do. Without fixed braces, it’s easier to maintain better oral hygiene.

Other Removable Braces

These are custom-made, consisting of a plastic brace with metal wire components. It simply clips onto the teeth and over time, it brings about the required change in their position. It can be easily inserted and removed for cleaning.

Another specific type of removable brace is called Functional Brace. These are designed for growing children, (age 7-10) and adolescents, (age 11-14). The combination of effects on the jaw and surrounding soft tissues can bring and assist a change in the position of the children’s teeth and facial profile and can provide ideal children’s braces for teeth.

Mouth Guards

We highly recommend that mouth guards are worn whilst playing contact sports (even trampolining or cycling). If your child has fitted braces, they can get special mouth guards to fit around them. If they wear removable braces, they should wear a mouth guard instead during sports, keeping the brace in a protective case. elleven can also provide tailored mouth guards when orthodontic treatment is completed.
