EDGE Orthodontics welcomes patients as young as seven years old. Early examination enables us to detect and evaluate problems before they become more severe. At that time, we can advise you on early treatment options or create a treatment plan for your child.
Early treatment doesn’t always include braces! Here are some of the benefits of talking to our team - even if your child still has some baby teeth:
Our most common types of braces for kids are metal or ceramic braces, which use brackets and archwires to straighten your child’s teeth. With our state-of-the-art appliances, they are smaller and more effective than ever before.
Depending on your child’s teeth, they may be able to receive lingual braces. These are similar to traditional braces in function, but are fitted to the inside of the teeth to be more discreet.
Invisalign® treatments allow us to straighten your little’s one’s smile without using metal brackets. Instead, we create a series of custom, tray-like clear aligners that fit snugly on your child’s teeth. This is a nearly invisible option for orthodontic treatment.

Sometimes, braces aren’t needed at all. Other times, we recommend treatments that will help prepare your child’s smile for braces. In both cases, our range of orthodontic appliances can help achieve stunning results.
In order to start orthodontic treatment, your child must have teeth that are in good health. We may ask that you visit a general dentist to resolve any issues before we begin treatment. If proper oral hygiene has been difficult for your child, our team is here to help!
Dr Angie Phelan has created a children’s book called Open Up, which helps children learn how to properly brush their teeth – and have fun while doing it!
