The Right Time To Put Your Child In Braces: Why Start Now?

You may wonder why we think getting your child started with orthodontic care very soon is a very good idea. After all, it’s February. Is there something special you’re overlooking, you wonder, in terms of this month’s connection to braces? Actually, there is a very important detail to consider: If you call our Springfield, OH team today to learn more and to schedule a consultation, you can look forward to beginning treatment over summer vacation. This offers many perks! Find out more about the details and feel free to come in soon!

Getting Ready

As you have likely realized, if you have not yet come in to learn more about which type of orthodontic treatment is best for your child, you are going to need to begin with a consultation. During a visit, we can take a very close look at your child’s smile, oral health, type of misalignment, and more, to determine what needs to happen. We will speak with you about treatment options, such as traditional braces or Invisalign. We will explain why certain options are better suited to your child’s smile. We can even get going with details like taking impressions! Long story short: You have time to prepare, get your child started with a treatment, and all by the time summer break begins!

Making Successful Daily Treatment Easy

Of course, kids are resilient and can most certainly come in, receive orthodontic care, and head back to school. They will adjust to the new schedule (perhaps they need to keep up with their clear aligner trays if they are teens), with eating, and more. However, if you’re more comfortable with the idea of helping your child transition into wearing braces of any kind without having to deal with the school day, then aligning the start of treatment with summer vacation is a bright choice! That way, by the time school starts back up again, your little one (or teen) will be an old pro and braces will just be another part of life!

Keeping An Eye On Your Child’s Habits

Of course, another good reason to get started soon, so you can be around for a lot of your child’s introduction to orthodontic care? When your child is at home when he or she first receives braces, you can keep an eye on those habits! Your presence will ensure your child makes good choices, is keeping up with the details, and is maintaining a clean smile throughout the day. Of course, as wonderful as this is for your son or daughter, it also provides you with some serious stress relief!
