Frequently Asked Questions
From first visits to daily routines, here’s what parents usually want to know.
What’s the best age for my child’s first orthodontic visit?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an initial visit around age 7. At this age, we can check growth patterns, spot early issues, and decide if treatment is needed now or later. Many kids don’t need braces right away, but an early checkup gives parents peace of mind.
How do I know if my child needs Phase 1 treatment?
Phase 1 treatment may be recommended when we see problems like crowding, crossbites, or spacing issues that could get worse without early care. Not every child needs it, but when it’s recommended, Phase 1 helps guide growth and makes future treatment simpler and shorter.
Are braces uncomfortable for kids?
Braces take some getting used to, but kids adapt quickly. There may be mild soreness in the first few days, especially after adjustments, but it usually goes away fast. We provide tips, soft food suggestions, and support to keep your child comfortable.
How do you make visits easier for children?
We keep appointments fun, supportive, and efficient. Our team explains everything in kid-friendly language, uses modern tools like digital scanners (no goopy molds), and celebrates milestones along the way. Parents often say their kids actually look forward to visits!
How long does treatment usually take for kids?
Every child’s smile is different, but most kids finish treatment faster here than at other practices. On average, Seymour Smiles patients complete braces in about 18 months compared to the typical 24. We’ll explain your child’s timeline at the consultation so you’ll know exactly what to expect.
