An ideal age to bring your child to visit Dr Saacks is seven. Early intervention can prevent the need for more costly orthodontics down the track. Our team will take x-rays and assess your child’s oral health. Many children won’t require early intervention but it’s a good idea to screen children at this important age.
Your teenager may wish to get their teeth straightened to improve their smile. The teen years are the perfect time for orthodontic treatment. Options include cosmetic braces or Invisalign. The treatment option you choose will depend on your teenagers oral health and mouth structure. A free consultation with Dr Saacks will help you reach the right decision.
Suitable for all ages! Whether you’re 12, 25 or 40 cosmetic braces are now sleeker, smaller and more comfortable. Straightening teeth with cosmetic braces is the most trusted orthodontic option.
