We’re excited to give you another reason to smile.

BRACE yourself for a stellar smile with first-class orthodontic care at Kidiatric!

A beautiful smile is the outward sign of successful orthodontic treatment; there is, however, a lot more to getting there than you might think! Orthodontic treatment is complex biological process. It involves changes in jaw bones, facial bones and soft tissue as teeth are moved into their new positions. Dr Huh will work with you and your child to ensure you feel comfortable and confident in your individualized treatment and expected results.

FAQ: How long will my child have to wear braces?

A typical orthodontic correction usually takes one to three years. This can vary due to a number of factors including the growth of your child’s mouth and the severity of the original issue. Some early treatment procedures may take as few as six months.


Conscientious use of any prescribed headgear, rubber bands, etc. is crucial for the most efficient treatment.

FAQ: How do I know if my child needs orthodontics?

While some children can receive orthodontic treatment in early childhood (before the age of 6 years old), treatment commonly takes place between 6 and 12 years of age. The American Academy of Orthodontics recommends orthodontic screening before age 7 to ensure the most effective treatment.

If any of this information resonates with your child or yourself, it might be time to schedule a consultation with an orthodontist.
