Braces for kids

As your child's adult teeth come through, braces remain one of the most trusted and effective ways to guide them gently into place — and we offer both classic and discreet options.

Metal braces — trusted and effective

Traditional metal braces are the tried-and-tested way to straighten children's teeth, applying gentle, consistent pressure to guide adult teeth into the right position. They achieve great results — especially as your child's permanent teeth come through, usually between ages 8 and 14.

For younger children, early treatment and expanders may come first to create room and guide jaw growth. Your child's Specialist Orthodontist checks their progress at every visit.
