Setting Kids Up for Success with Orthodontic Treatment for Children

Blog Article

A straight smile is more than just attractive—it’s a sign of oral health and balance. Thrive is committed to offering complete orthodontic treatment for children, where retention is not an afterthought, but the ultimate goal.

Understanding Treatment Stages

Evaluation and Planning

Children should visit an orthodontist by age 7. Early checkups help identify subtle jaw or bite concerns that may require early intervention.

Active Treatment

This may include braces, spacers, or aligners that work to shift teeth into correct alignment. Early treatment often simplifies or eliminates the need for future procedures.

Why Retainers Matter at Thrive

Teeth Have a Memory

After braces come off, your child’s teeth will want to move back to their original position. Retainers stop this from happening, ensuring long-term success.

Designed for Comfort and Compliance

We create retainers that kids are comfortable wearing, making it easier for them to stick with the retention plan and maintain their smile.

Conclusion

The goal of orthodontic treatment for children is not just straightening teeth—it’s keeping them straight. At Thrive, we prioritize retention so your child can enjoy a confident smile for years to come.
