Investing in a straight, beautiful smile for your child is one of the most important decisions you will make for them. The earlier treatment begins, the simpler it tends to be.
Initial Consultation
Our orthodontists at Ballyfermot Dental will walk you through every option at your child’s first visit. We recommend bringing children as young as age 7 – early assessment can prevent more complex treatment later.
Functional & Bionator/Frankel Appliances
Removable braces for growing patients aged 11–18, working on upper and lower teeth simultaneously. One of the fastest methods to correct receding jaws or prominent teeth, typically completed in 9–12 months. Bionator/Frankel variants are worn overnight and are most effective when baby teeth are still present.
Fixed Braces
The most common orthodontic option – small brackets bonded to teeth, connected with a thin wire. Available in metal or clear/tooth-coloured options, with personalised coloured elastics available.
Invisalign Teen
Clear, virtually invisible aligners – no metal required. Removable for eating and brushing (22 hrs/day wear recommended). Includes 6 replacement aligners and a blue wear indicator for parents and doctors.
