At Lan Anh Dental Clinic, we care not only about your child's teeth, but also other factors such as nutrition, height, weight, and the child's psychology.

Therefore, orthodontic treatment at Lan Anh Dental Clinic are often carefully planned by the dentist, suitable for each specific case:

1️⃣ Thorough and clear consultation about the treatment time and treatment results.

2️⃣ Minimize painful and uncomfortable techniques such as placing mini screws, separating elastics, placing stitches, ... so that children can eat and drink the best.

3️⃣ Advise on a suitable healthy eating for children with braces. For example, how much calcium a day is right for your child? How to get calcium if your child doesn't like milk?

4️⃣ Advise and guide on effective oral hygiene for children with braces: What kind of toothbrush? What kind of toothpaste? What kind of mouthwash? Should they brush their teeth or use mouthwash first?... 

As for parents, many of them wonder whether braces make it difficult for children to eat and drink?

** The answer is yes, it is possible.

So does difficulty in eating affect the children's nutrition and height if they are not eating well?

**This can also happen.

Therefore, braces should only be started when the doctor assesses that the benefit is worth the effort, time and expense.

Usually, early braces should only be given to children in the following cases:

1️⃣ Misaligned bites make it difficult to eat and chew.

2️⃣ Much influence on aesthetics.

3️⃣ The bad bite causes the teeth to move and hurt (like backbiting).

In the case of light malocclusion, parents should consider braces for their children after puberty, when nutrition is no longer so important to the growth and height of the children.
