Your child may not like the idea of having to endure months or years of treatment with braces on their teeth, especially since traditional braces require diligent cleaning.

Instead, you may want to consider Clear Aligner for children.

How Does It Work?

your child will wear plastic aligners that slowly shift their teeth into the right place.

Clear retainers can move your child’s teeth vertically and horizontally, and they can even rotate teeth if needed.

Your child’s dentist will create a customized treatment plan, which generally includes getting a new Clear aligner every few weeks. The benefits of Clear Aligners extend to almost all orthodontic issues, from mild to complex repositioning of the teeth.
