Orthodontics
What Is Orthodontics?
Orthodontics is a branch that focuses on straightening teeth and correcting problems with
the bite (how the upper and lower teeth fit together).
Common Types of Orthodontic Treatment:
Braces
Metal or ceramic brackets with wires that slowly move teeth into place
Clear Aligners (e.g. Invisalign)
Removable, transparent trays that straighten teeth without metal
Retainers
Devices used after braces to keep teeth in place.
Expanders or Headgear
Used in growing children to help with jaw development or bite correction.
It helps people who have:
- Crooked or crowded teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Overbite or underbite
- Jaw alignment problems
Why Do People Need Orthodontic Treatment?
Orthodontic treatment improves:
- The appearance of the smile
- How teeth work when chewing or speaking
- Oral hygiene, because straight teeth are easier to clean
- Jaw health, reducing pressure or pain
How Long Does It Take?
- Treatment time depends on the case, but usually takes 12 to 24 months.
- Some minor cases may need less time.
How to Take Care During Treatment:
- Brush and floss carefully around braces or aligners.
- Avoid sticky, hard, or sugary foods.
- Visit your dentist and orthodontist regularly

“Orthodontics helps you get a healthy, beautiful smile that lasts a lifetime. It’s an

Orthodontics at Kidz Smile: Focused on Preservation and Alignment for Lifelong Oral Health
Orthodontics plays a crucial role at Kidz Smile, where the focus extends beyond just the alignment of teeth. We recognize the fundamental importance of preserving baby teeth as a cornerstone for optimal oral health in children. Our approach is comprehensive, addressing the impact of baby teeth on chewing, speech, and the proper alignment of permanent teeth.
Key Tenets of Orthodontics at Kidz Smile:
- Preservation of Baby Teeth: At Kidz Smile, we emphasize the preservation of baby teeth as a critical aspect of orthodontic care. Understanding that these primary teeth serve as the foundation for future dental development, our approach is geared towards ensuring their health and longevity.
- Impact on Chewing and Speech: Baby teeth are more than just placeholders; they actively contribute to essential functions such as chewing and speech development. Our orthodontic strategies take into account the role of baby teeth in these fundamental aspects of a child’s oral and overall development.
- Alignment of Permanent Teeth: The proper alignment of permanent teeth begins with the preservation of baby teeth. Kidz Smile recognizes the interconnectedness of these dental stages and employs orthodontic interventions that contribute to the seamless transition from primary to permanent dentition.
Preventing Premature Gaps and Influencing Final Alignment:
- Role as Placeholders: Baby teeth serve as effective placeholders, preventing premature gaps that could potentially impact the final alignment of permanent teeth. Our orthodontic care is designed to safeguard these placeholders, promoting a stable foundation for the eruption of permanent teeth.
- Holistic Approach to Alignment: Kidz Smile adopts a holistic approach to dental alignment. Our orthodontic interventions are tailored to address not only immediate concerns but also to influence the long-term alignment of permanent teeth. We consider the unique characteristics of each child’s dental anatomy for a personalized and effective approach.
Timely Attention for Overall Oral Health:
- Essential Role in Oral Health: Timely attention to the loss of baby teeth is paramount for maintaining overall oral health. Kidz Smile recognizes that early intervention and orthodontic care contribute to preventing potential complications, ensuring a positive trajectory for a child’s dental well-being.
- Proactive Measures for Long-Term Benefits: Orthodontics at Kidz Smile is not just about addressing current issues; it’s about taking proactive measures for long-term benefits. By prioritizing the preservation of baby teeth, we lay the foundation for a healthy and well-aligned smile that can positively impact a child’s confidence and overall quality of life.
Kidz Smile’s orthodontic care goes beyond traditional alignment goals, incorporating a comprehensive understanding of the developmental stages of a child’s oral health. With a focus on preservation, alignment, and long-term well-being, we strive to create smiles that stand the test of time at Kidz Smile.
