Children and teen orthodontics
Serious orthodontic problems can be more easily corrected when your child’s skeleton is still growing and flexible. By correcting skeletal problems at a younger age, we can prepare their mouth for the eventual eruption of permanent teeth. If they have adequate space to erupt, after all, they will come in relatively straight. If their teeth erupt normally, they will likely remain straighter after braces come off.
At age 12 to 14, your child’s permanent teeth have usually erupted, and we may recommend full braces for final alignment and detailing of their bite—making the final stage of treatment quicker and more comfortable. This phase of treatment usually lasts approximately 12 to 18 months. By choosing Newmarket orthodontics in two steps, we can give your child excellent results and help avoid the need for extraction or jaw surgery.
Orthodontic evaluations
Addressing potential concerns now—particularly for your child—can help avoid the formation of further dental and orthodontic problems. We can typically spot the possibility of serious future bite problems well in advance. Although treatment is usually unnecessary, it can allow us to observe their development and decide on the best treatment. If you think you or your child could benefit from orthodontics near you, book a consultation with our specialized team at Oasispark Dental in Newmarket.

Orthodontics FAQ
At what age should orthodontic treatment begin?
Orthodontic treatment in Newmarket can begin at any age, but the ideal time to start varies depending on individual factors such as the severity of the orthodontic issues and the patient’s dental development. For children, orthodontic evaluation is typically recommended around the age of 7 when permanent teeth start to erupt. Early intervention allows orthodontists to identify and address potential problems before they worsen, potentially reducing the need for more extensive treatment later on. However, orthodontic treatment can also be successful in adults, and it’s never too late to achieve a straighter and healthier smile with the help of orthodontics.
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
The duration of orthodontic treatment in Newmarket varies depending on factors such as the complexity of the case, the type of orthodontic appliance used, and the patient’s response to treatment. On average, orthodontic treatment can take anywhere from several months to a few years to achieve the desired results. Patients are typically seen by their orthodontist every few weeks for adjustments and progress monitoring throughout the treatment process. Your Newmarket orthodontist will provide a personalized treatment plan with an estimated timeline based on your specific needs and goals.
Are there discreet orthodontic options available?
Yes, there are discreet orthodontic options available for patients who prefer a more subtle approach to straightening their teeth. Invisalign clear aligners are a popular choice for adults and teens seeking a nearly invisible orthodontic treatment option. These custom-made aligners are made of clear, smooth plastic and are removable, allowing for discreet and comfortable orthodontic treatment. Additionally, lingual braces, which are attached to the back of the teeth, are another discreet option for patients who want to straighten their teeth without visible brackets or wires.
Do braces require special care?
- Brush their teeth thoroughly after every meal and snack, using a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste.
- Floss between the wires and around the brackets daily to remove food particles and plaque.
- Avoid foods that are sticky, chewy, or hard, as they can damage braces or get stuck between the wires.
- Attend regular orthodontic appointments for adjustments and check-ups to ensure that treatment progresses smoothly.
Is orthodontic treatment covered by insurance?
Orthodontic treatment coverage varies depending on your dental insurance plan and the specific details of your policy. Some dental insurance plans may provide coverage for orthodontic treatment, while others may have limitations or exclusions. It’s essential to review your insurance policy carefully and consult with your insurance provider to understand your coverage options for orthodontic treatment in Newmarket. Your orthodontist’s office may also assist you in verifying insurance coverage and maximizing any benefits available to you.
