Why start orthodontic treatment early?

Early care can guide jaw growth, break habits such as thumb-sucking and ensure permanent teeth erupt in better alignment, reducing the need for complex treatment later.

Frequently asked questions about children’s orthodontics in Wellingborough

At what age should my child have their first orthodontic assessment?

We advise a first check around age 7 here in Wellingborough to spot concerns while the jaw is still growing.

Do braces hurt?

Mild soreness is common for a day or two. Our Wellingborough team shares practical tips to ease any discomfort so children from Rushden or Irthlingborough can stay comfortable.

How long will my child wear braces?

Most children in Wellingborough complete treatment in 12-24 months, though complex cases in Finedon or beyond can take a little longer.

Will braces affect eating or speaking?

Braces may feel strange at first, but children soon adapt. We give clear guidance on foods to avoid and tips for confident speech.

Can my child play sports or musical instruments?

Yes. A custom sports mouthguard keeps teeth safe, and most instruments can be played normally after a short adjustment period.
