Getting Braces for Your
Kids & Teens

With extensive training in both pediatric dentistry and orthodontics, Dr. Henry is committed to helping kids and teens enter adulthood with a confident smile. When braces are part of your child’s treatment plan, you can trust our team to anticipate unique pediatric issues, resolve them quickly, and reveal a beautiful smile in a timely manner.

When does my child
need braces?

Children can need braces as early as age seven.

In fact, about 40% of patients can save time, money, and discomfort by receiving orthodontic treatment before their teen years. Dr. Henry will work with your family to identify whether or not your child needs treatment, as well as the optimal timeline for your child’s oral health and comfort.

What are my options?

Your child’s options will depend on their unique smile but may include metal braces, Invisalign, partial braces, other orthodontic appliances, or simple monitoring.

Dr. Henry will work with you to find solutions that suit your family’s needs and help your child achieve:

  • healthy jawbone development
  • The proper eruption of permanent teeth
  • perfectly functional bite
  • straight, beautiful smile

Testimonials

Not only do both my children go to Dr Henry’s but I do as well. We are all treated with kindness by a staff that’s very friendly and patient. Juggling each of our own needs, personalities and tolerance to the “adjustments”, I know we are in the best hands in St Johns County.

We are only a few months into our first kid’s treatment but are very happy so far! Easy to get in for an appointment, never have to wait long and the office staff is super friendly and professional! Can’t wait to see how good my son’s teeth look in about a year! I was also very impressed that Dr Henry didn’t force early treatment for my daughter but took a wait & see approach…the questionable tooth shifted and that conservative approach saved us a couple thousand dollars. She will still need braces and we will definitely be using Dr Henry!
