For many children and parents the word orthodontics can bring up images of discomfort, long appointments, and complicated treatment plans.

If you or your child are considering orthodontic treatment, one of the most common questions is: How long will it take to get a straight, healthy smile? The answer depends on several factors.

As a parent, it’s normal to wonder if your child’s teeth are developing the way they should. You may be asking yourself: Is it too early for braces? Or should we be seeing an orthodontist already?

Whether you’ve completed Invisalign® or braces, wearing a retainer is the key to protecting your investment, and your confidence. It keeps your teeth stable, and ensures your smile.

Your first visit involves a complete review of your dental history and oral health. At Bronte Family Orthodontics, Dr. Aggarwal will take detailed photographs & X-rays to understand your teeth.

Many parents think orthodontic treatment only happens when all adult teeth come in. This common belief can actually cause children to miss important opportunities for more effective treatments.
