Braces For Kids & Teenagers
Guiding smiles through every stage of growth.
At Pallant Advanced Dentistry, we believe every child deserves a healthy, confident smile that lasts a lifetime. That’s why we offer specialist orthodontic care for kids and teenagers, monitoring early dental development to determine the best time for treatment.
As your child grows, they may benefit from braces or clear aligners like Invisalign® First and Invisalign® Teen. Whether they need early intervention or full orthodontic treatment in their teenage years, our expert team will guide them every step of the way.
Why Choose Early Orthodontic Treatment?
The British Orthodontic Society recommends that all children visit an orthodontist between the ages of 7 and 11 to assess their smile’s development. Starting treatment at the right time can help guide kids’ and teenagers’ teeth into the correct position, setting them up for a lifetime of healthy, confident smiles.
The benefits of starting orthodontic treatment early include:
- No waiting lists - skip long NHS queues and start your child’s orthodontic journey sooner.
- Prevents future complications - early treatment (ages 8-12) can reduce or simplify orthodontic issues before they become more complex.
- Helps avoid tooth extractions - unlike standard NHS practices, we aim to correct alignment naturally, without removing teeth.
- Faster, easier treatment - growing bones respond more quickly to braces for kids and teenagers, leading to more efficient results.
- Boosts confidence - a straight smile can give your child or teen the self-assurance to shine at every stage of life.
Braces For Kids
At Pallant Advanced Dentistry, we offer a range of specialist braces for kids, designed to gently guide growing teeth into the right position. Our traditional metal braces remain a trusted choice, providing precise, reliable results for children needing comprehensive teeth straightening.
For those looking for a more discreet option, we also offer clear braces with ceramic brackets, blending in more naturally with your child’s smile while delivering the same effective orthodontic results. Whether your child needs fixed metal braces or ceramic clear braces, our team in Chichester will ensure they receive the best possible care in a supportive, friendly environment.
Invisalign® First
Some children may feel unsure about having braces on their teeth, or they might be more responsible and suited to a removable option. That’s where Invisalign® First comes in - a specially designed clear aligner treatment for younger children, offering a comfortable, flexible alternative to fixed braces.
Using custom-made aligners, Invisalign® First can help correct issues like crowding, spacing, and arch development while allowing children to eat, brush, and play sports as normal. With its discreet design, it’s a fantastic option for kids who want to straighten their teeth without visible braces, giving them the confidence to smile throughout their treatment.
Early Bite Correction With The Angel Twin Block
The Angel Twin Block Appliance is a discreet, removable device designed to guide jaw development in growing children. Also known as the Angel A6 Mandibular Advancement, it gently encourages the lower jaw to move forward, helping to correct bite issues such as overjet (when the top teeth sit too far in front of the bottom teeth).
Used during a key stage of growth, this appliance can improve facial balance and reduce the need for more complex treatment later on. It's a comfortable, custom-fit solution that works in harmony with your child’s natural development.
Braces For Teenagers
At Pallant Advanced Dentistry, we understand that the teenage years are pivotal for developing a confident smile. Our braces for teenagers are designed to address various orthodontic concerns, ensuring effective and efficient treatment.
We offer traditional metal braces, known for their durability and precision in correcting misalignments. For those seeking a more discreet option, our clear ceramic braces blend seamlessly with the natural tooth colour, providing a subtle alternative without compromising effectiveness. Both options are customised to meet the unique needs of each teen, guiding their teeth into optimal alignment and promoting long-term oral health.
Invisalign® Teen
For teenagers seeking a flexible and nearly invisible orthodontic solution, Invisalign® Teen offers a modern alternative to traditional braces. Utilising a series of custom-made, clear aligners, this treatment option allows teens to straighten their teeth without the use of brackets and wires.
Invisalign® Teen aligners are removable, enabling teens to enjoy their favourite foods and maintain their regular oral hygiene routines with ease. Additionally, these aligners are designed to accommodate the ongoing growth of teenage teeth and jaws, ensuring a tailored fit throughout the treatment process. With the added benefit of blue wear-indicators, both parents and teens can monitor proper usage, promoting effective results.
