Children’s Braces

We Have Many Years Experience Treating Children With Braces

The early stages of a child’s development is an important process with regards to how their adult teeth can come through. Signs can start to appear in children as young as 7-8 – it is normal for around 6 to see the permanent teeth come through. It is important that children do attend regular appointments so the dentist can monitor their progress.

Our dentists have had many years experience in treating children and have developed a keen eye to help spot problems early on, reducing the chances of any serious complications developing.

My daughter needed braces so after reading reviews about Ascent Dental Care I decided to book a first appointment.

It was 19 months ago.

My daughter had her braces removed last month and the result is superb! It exceeded her expectation.

The care is amazing.

All staff at reception make you feel really welcome and genuinely care about the clients.

Thank you

When Should Your Child Visit an Orthodontic Dentist?

As children develop their are often warning signs on how the teeth might be affected:
Crooked, wonky or crowded teeth.
Early/Late loss of baby teeth (before 4 or after 7-8)
Protruding teeth
Biting/chewing difficulty
Finger and thumb sucking
Bruxism (teeth grinding)
Worn enamel

The above signs could potentially be an early indicator that braces may be required at a later stage of the childs life (around 9-14).

When a child is still developing, it is recommended that if needed, they undergo orthodontic treatment. This is because, once you reach adulthood, treatments can take a lot longer to complete and may require more extensive work to achieve the goals your are after.

How Long Will My Child Have to Wear Braces for?

We will be able to give you a more accurate treatment completion time once we have seen your child for a free consultation. The more severe a case is, the longer it will take to treat.

How Long Are Retainers Worn For?

At whatever age you have braces, it is always recommended that they are worn for life. When your teeth are straightened, the natural thing that your teeth will want to do is relapse back to their crooked position.

We understand this is not always a popular thing to do, especially when it comes to children, but we do offer a bonded retainer that is secured in place on the backs of the teeth, ensuring it is constantly working.

Ascent are definitely a dental surgery with a difference. Great service and Jay is not only a highly skilled dentist but also an excellent communicator. He keeps you advised of his processes throughout your visits and along with his assistants works hard to keep you relaxed.

Well done all excellent…..

Denis Byrne

I recently had composite bonding treatment on my lower front teeth and i am very happy with the results.Laura was very professional and friendly and i would highly recommend this practice.

Mike Doidge

I went through the process of having implants fitted. Throughout the whole process I received excellent service and care from everybody at the practice. I did not, at anytime, feel uncomfortable or any pain and the procedure was never rushed but carried out at a pace that meant a very successful outcome. I’d recommend this practice very highly.

Paul Fell

I contacted Ascent Dental Care after my general dentist advised me that I needed root canal treatment, which they would be unable to carry out. I was looked after by Jesal, who put root canal fillings into 3 of my teeth, which was not a straightforward procedure, as they were crowned front teeth, and 2 of the crowns were some 25 years old. I can only say that he did an excellent job. He explained everything very thoroughly to me beforehand, and I was truly amazed at how little discomfort I felt when the work carried out. He is a really nice guy, who puts you totally at ease, and the nurses, reception and admin staff are all very friendly, polite and efficient.

I have no hesitation in recommending this excellent dental practice.

Rachel Knott

I got recommended by a family member to come here and it was honestly the best decision I’ve made! The whole team are just amazing. Jay is absolutely wonderful! Such a caring, attentive and thorough dentist who makes me feel so heard and looked after whilst I’m with him. Thank you guys so much! Highly recommend this practice if you’re looking for first class treatment 😊

Sophie Scotchford

I have always been nervous to have Invisalign and visited Ascent Dental Care apprehensively, unsure if braces were right for me. Rachel and Gursh have both been incredibly lovely and put my mind at ease. The practice uses all the latest equipment (Dental Monitoring is the way forward!) which is allowing me to complete me treatment time far faster than elsewhere! So far I can not fault the team, thank you so much

Hayley Ironmonger

I can’t recommend this dentist enough! I was petrified of any dentist and would walk and cry and run out! Since finding Ascent dental care, I have never been more comfortable! Since starting jay has been nothing but reassuring! I have now started my Invisalign journey! Having various different treatments and seeing the hygienist I feel so much more relaxed! The receptionist Kathryn always greets everyone with a smile and so does the other girls on the front desk! I honestly can’t thank this dentist enough!
