A lifetime of happiness, health, and confidence awaits them.

Is your child self-conscious about their teeth or experiencing an uncomfortable bite? Maybe they’ve mentioned it, but you’re unsure when to start the process.

Getting braces in childhood can transform your child’s smile and confidence. The earlier they begin, the sooner they can enjoy a healthy, beautiful smile.

Braces can help kids with:

  • Crooked or crowded teeth
  • Gaps or misaligned teeth
  • Bite issues like overbites, underbites, and crossbites

Thanks to modern dental technology, braces are more comfortable and effective than ever before.

After the first visit at Amley McEntire Orthodontics in Saint Petersburg, FL, we’ll develop a custom treatment plan for your child. It’s important that their teeth and gums are healthy to be a candidate for braces.

  • Step 1
    We assess your child’s smile and discuss any concerns. For kids, we consider their growing teeth and jaw when designing their treatment plan.
  • Step 2
    At their next visit, we’ll carefully place the braces. We make sure your child is comfortable and knows exactly what to expect before the process begins.
  • Step 3
    Once the braces are on, we’ll teach your child how to care for them. Every few weeks, they’ll come in for adjustments so their teeth gradually move into the right position.

When treatment is complete, we’ll safely remove the braces, and your child can enjoy their new smile! We’ll also guide you through post-treatment care.
