While clear aligners have become a popular teeth straightening option for adults, traditional metal braces are still the gold standard for pediatric orthodontic treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>949 Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics offers high-quality pediatric white braces in New York, tailored to the unique needs of each young patient. With our compassionate care and state-of-the-art techniques, your child can achieve their dream smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Are Pediatric White Braces?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Pediatric white braces feature metal brackets and wires that are attached to the teeth with dental adhesive. Unlike the silver or metal color typically associated with traditional braces, white braces blend in more naturally with the teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Made of ceramic or plastic, white brackets are less visible and more aesthetically pleasing for children and teens. The braces still use metal wires and elastics to gradually shift the teeth into proper alignment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>White braces offer all the same benefits of conventional metal braces in a more discreet, youthful appearance. They are an excellent orthodontic solution for straightening crooked, crowded, or misaligned teeth in growing children.<\/p>\n\n\n<section id=\"b-tdfwzq_ly3yepmh\" class=\"brxe-section cta-1 bg--action gbrx-tdfwzq\"><div id=\"b-euvlkz_ly3yepmh\" class=\"brxe-container cta-1__container gbrx-euvlkz\"><h2 id=\"b-fmypav_ly3yepmh\" class=\"brxe-heading cta-1__heading gbrx-fmypav\">Your Child&#8217;s Smile, Our Specialty<\/h2><div id=\"b-ugdejn_ly3yepmh\" class=\"brxe-text-basic cta-1__text gbrx-ugdejn\">Experience pediatric dentistry that truly understands your child \u2013 reserve their spot now and see the 949 difference.<\/div><a id=\"b-qydxqe_ly3yepmh\" class=\"brxe-button btn--action btn--modal gbrx-qydxqe bricks-button\" href=\"#\">Request Appointment<\/a><\/div><\/section>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benefits of Early Orthodontic Treatment with White Braces<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The American Association of Orthodontists recommends children have their first orthodontic evaluation <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/aaoinfo.org\/whats-trending\/when-should-your-child-see-an-orthodontist\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">by age 7 <\/a>. Starting treatment in childhood, while jaw growth is still occurring, provides many advantages:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Correcting alignment issues early prevents more extensive treatment later. The longer misalignment persists, the more difficult it becomes to treat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Orthodontic treatment is generally shorter and requires less intricate corrections when started at a young age.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Functional issues like difficulty biting or chewing can be addressed before causing long-term problems.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Treatment at a young age may help avoid tooth extractions or oral surgery later.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Improving alignment prior to permanent teeth coming in allows them to emerge straighter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Braces can improve self-esteem issues in children caused by tooth misalignment or spacing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Our pediatric orthodontists determine the optimal age to begin treatment based on each child\u2019s unique growth rate and dental development. In some cases, early intervention as young as age 4 or 5 may be recommended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Types of Orthodontic Issues White Braces Can Correct<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some common orthodontic problems we treat with pediatric braces include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>Crowding<\/td><td>Teeth are overlapped due to insufficient space in the jaws.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Spacing<\/td><td>Excessive gaps between teeth due to missing teeth or small jaws.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Overjet<\/td><td>Upper front teeth protrude outward.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Underbite<\/td><td>Lower jaw extends outward, causing top and bottom teeth to misalign.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Open bite<\/td><td>Front and\/or side teeth do not meet when biting down.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Crossbite<\/td><td>Upper and lower teeth are abnormally aligned side-to-side.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Impacted teeth<\/td><td>Teeth are blocked from emerging properly.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>By gently applying pressure to the teeth and jaws over time, white braces gradually guide teeth into a correctly aligned position.
