Braces
Traditional braces are a time-tested method for correcting misalignments and bite issues. At Mitten Kids Dentistry, we offer various types of braces, each designed to work effectively while maintaining your child's comfort and confidence.
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners offer a discreet, modern approach to orthodontics. Ideal for teens who don’t want the visibility of braces, clear aligners are virtually invisible and removable. This makes daily oral hygiene and eating a breeze.
Space Maintenance
Space maintainers are crucial for preserving the correct spacing in a child's mouth, especially when they lose baby teeth early. These devices ensure proper alignment and spacing for permanent teeth, preventing future orthodontic complications.
Phase 1 Orthodontics
Aimed at young children from the ages 6-9, Phase 1 treatment focuses on preventing more severe orthodontic issues by addressing them while the teeth are still erupting. This early intervention can reduce the need for more extensive orthodontic treatments in the future, setting the stage for a healthier smile.
Phase 2 Orthodontics
Phase 2 Orthodontics typically follows Phase 1 and is primarily for teenagers. This phase fine-tunes tooth alignment after most permanent teeth have erupted, ensuring an optimal bite and a beautifully aligned smile.
