Child & Teen Braces

Orthodontic treatment during childhood takes advantage of natural growth and bone development—leading to faster, more stable results. Early action. Lifelong confidence.

At Geans Clinic we believe prevention is better than cure and Orthodontic treatment at a young age not only improves the appearance of a smile—it also supports better oral health, jaw development, and function.

About this treatment

We are fortunate to have Consultant Orthodontist, Dr Stacey Tsang at Geans Clinic offering several solutions for our young patients.

Braces are a common and highly effective way to straighten teeth and correct bite issues in children and teens.

Not only will straight teeth build confidence and positive self-image early in life, braces in children and teeth straighten crooked or crowded teeth, close gaps between teeth, correct overbites, underbites, and crossbites, improve speech, chewing, and jaw alignment and reduce the risk of tooth wear, injury, and gum problems long term.

At Geans Clinic, our consultant orthodontist, Dr Tsang is high experienced in a variety of brace systems we can offer to children and teens. Depending on the case specifics, we offer:

1. Fixed Metal Braces

Most common and reliable option
Small brackets and wires guide teeth into position
Colourful bands available—popular with younger patients

2. Ceramic Braces

Tooth-coloured and less noticeable
Often preferred by image-conscious teens

3. Clear Aligners (Teen Invisalign / Angel Align Teen)

Nearly invisible and removable
Best for responsible teens who can wear them consistently
Includes wear indicators and space for growing molars

FAQs

What is the best age to start thing about a brace?

At Geans Clinic, our dentists will check your child’s bite as soon as all their baby teeth as through as this can give an indication of early issues that may need addressing early on. We will consider any issues and recommend an orthodontic assessment from age 7, even if full treatment isn’t needed yet. Early evaluation allows our orthodontist to monitor jaw and tooth development, plan for intervention early if needed (e.g., expanders, habit breakers), and plan the most efficient time for braces—usually around ages 11–14 when most adult teeth have come through.

How long will treatment take?

At Geans Clinic, Dr Tsang will advise on a case by case basis, and usually treatment can take between 12–24 months, depending on the case. Regular check-ups are required for adjustments and progress tracking. After treatment, retainers must be worn to maintain results.

How can I help my child care for their teeth whilst having orthodontic treatment?

If diet and oral hygiene are not carefully considered during brace treatment, the treatment could be stopped early to prevent damage to teeth and gums. Of not properly maintained, teeth can become stained permanently, and in severe cases, gum disease can start or decay in teeth. You can help your child by ensuing they are brushing carefully around brackets and wires, using floss daily (special tools like floss threaders help). Our hygienists can help teach your children how to use these adjuncts if they struggle and can help keep the teeth extra clean around the brackets and attachments.

Avoid sticky, hard, or sugary foods and ensure to attend all scheduled appointments to stay on track.

Patient Testimonials

We as a family have been coming to this dentist since it opened. I cannot stress how professional and caring they all are. I myself am a nervous patient and they put me at ease every single time. My son has unfortunately had to have root canal treatment not something anyone likes to endure but they were so careful, gentle and professional that my son wasn’t worried, scared or in pain (he fell asleep). I love this dentist, and recommend you to everyone. Sabrina is AMAZING, such a lovely person.

Anonymous patient

Thank you Sabrina for not hurting me and making me feel at ease! I’m scared to death of the dentist!

Both my wife and I have been in to see you for a few different treatments and on every single occasion we have left feeling happy and confident with the work you have done. My wife was extremely nervous about having any work done but after having the first consultation with you she came away and immediately felt relaxed about seeing you again to begin the treatments. After the experience we’ve had with you I no longer dread having to book in for a check up!

Will you please pass my thanks to Shrina Nathwani for her wonderful, professional care when I had a tooth extracted… I had been dreading the procedure but Shrina made me feel so relaxed and I must say I felt no discomfort. Shrina and the dental nurse who assisted her are a definite asset to your practice.

Anon 1, October 2018

I had excellent service from Shrina, not even any swelling or bleeding after the extraction last week. It’s just such a relief to have this sorted. Thank you for your prompt action.
