You may think the teen years are the best time for braces for your child. You may want to reconsider. Early orthodontics can get a jump on any type of issue your child has with the position of their teeth. It can make it possible to shorten the length of orthodontic correction. In some cases, steps that are taken when your child is younger can make it possible to avoid braces when they get older. If you or your child’s dentist has noticed concerns about the position of your child’s teeth, crowding, or too much space, finding braces for children in Austin could be a good move for you.
How Can Finding Braces for Children in Austin Help Your Child?
If your child’s orthodontist recommends early orthodontics, your child could begin as soon as the age of seven. At this point, your child’s jaw will have developed enough to get a good idea of what is going to happen when permanent teeth replace all baby teeth. If your child has a problem with their bite, it can be addressed at this early stage.
Treatment at this stage could steer the jaw in the right direction to avoid more serious problems as development continues. If there is not enough space, your child’s orthodontist can work on making more room as permanent teeth begin to push out more baby teeth. By starting early, your child may not need the next phase of orthodontic treatment. It could be possible to save teeth as well. Molars in the back are often extracted for older children when they get braces. This makes more room so braces can do their job. The main goal is to shift your child’s teeth until they are in proper alignment. Starting braces at the right time can make this process easier for your child.

Excellent service and treatment!

Category: orthodontistWe have been seeing Dr. St. Loius at Central Texas Orthodontics for a couple kids now over several years. Everytime we walk in for an appointment, we are greeted warmly and promptly taken back. The office is easy to get to and always runs on time, we have never had to wait to be seen, which is remarkable for a medical/dental office! The payment options were also fair and easy to understand. And the follow up, even after those braces come off, has been stellar! Retainers get lost or chewed up sometimes (ugg!), but a quick text into the office and we were able to drop off the original molds and have new ones made very quickly. Everyone who works at this office truly cares, and you can tell they all enjoy where they work, which is really wonderful to see. I cannot speak highly enough of this office, the staff, the care, and ESPECIALLY the after care and protecting our investment.

Category: orthodontistDr. St. Louis and his staff are exceptional! Their professional, friendly and caring manner stand out every time I have an appointment. They are always very positive during my visits and make me feel like I’m part of their family. I never have to wait to be seen and I’m usually out in a minimal amount of time. I had my last orthodontic visit recently and they invited me to stop in anytime, just to say hello. I highly recommend Central Texas Orthodontics to anyone needing their services. They are truly the BEST!

I recommend CTO not only for children and teens, but for adults as well! My two teenage daughters got their braces and I got my Invisalign. Dr. B. took his time to go over all our treatment plans and make adjustments. The communication is seamless and very responsive. All team members are wonderful - my special shoutout goes to Beatrice and Christen though: Those two lovely ladies go above and beyond with everything they do!
