Child braces in Newry and other orthodontic treatment for children

The most common treatment option chosen for children and teens under 18 is metal braces. These braces are permanently fixed, durable, fast and predictable, making them a great option for younger smiles.

Braces at Zen come with a wide choice of coloured and clear bands that can be switched out during each appointment. A retainer and a retention review appointment up to 6 months after you have completed brace treatment are also included in your treatment.

At Zen Orthodontics, we also offer the option for ceramic braces, which have tooth coloured brackets in place of the metal brackets. This may be a good choice for your child if they have most of their permanent teeth and would prefer a more discreet brace treatment.

Invisalign^® clear aligners are a great treatment option for children, as they are safe, discreet and comfortable. These smooth aligners are custom designed for your child’s mouth and are removable, meaning your child won’t need to adjust their diet or routine during treatment.

Invisalign^® First is a treatment specifically designed for children between the ages of 7-10. This system is tailored with extra space to accommodate growing teeth and gently guide teeth into alignment.

Teens love Invisalign^® aligners because they are virtually invisible, removable and minimally disruptive to their active lifestyle. Invisalign® treatment is reliable and efficient, and with our iTero scanner we can precisely predict the final outcome for your teens smile before treatment begins.

Invisalign^® clear aligners for teens have blue compliance indicators, which are small blue dots that fade over time to help your teen determine if they are wearing their aligners for a sufficient amount of time to ensure proper treatment progression.
