- Braces for Children & Teenagers
Fixed braces are one of the most common and effective orthodontic treatments for children and teenagers. Treating alignment and bite problems early, while the jaw is still developing, often leads to smoother treatment and more stable long-term results.
We know that as a parent you want a treatment you can trust. Our dental team carefully assesses every child, explains exactly what is needed and why, and supports both you and your child through each stage. Because fixed braces stay in place throughout treatment, there is no need to rely on a child remembering to wear an appliance, which gives many parents real peace of mind.
If you are unsure whether your child is ready for braces, the best first step is a simple assessment with our team.
Dr Shohre Ghasemi was honoured as Dentist of the Year 2025 by the Forttuna Global Excellence Awards, recognising her commitment to exceptional patient care and high clinical standards.
