When should I get my child's teeth straightened?

On all fronts parents are trying to do the best for their children, but can be easily overwhelmed with all the information floating around. Dental care and straight teeth are usually a hot topic as children grow. Crowded teeth can be difficult to clean which can lead to problems including cavities, receding gums or an uneven bite.
As dentistry has evolved over the years from a scary stern place to being much more friendly and welcoming, so have the options and ways to straighten teeth. No longer do you have to wait until teeth are very wonky or end up with the typical metal 'train tracks' we may remember. With modern techniques, teeth can be straightened discreetly and earlier. Teeth that are straightened earlier often result in better outcomes.
With so many solutions and options, the next question is usually where should you go? The experts in straightening teeth are specialist orthodontists: dentists who have been on specialist accredited training and are on the General Dental Council register for orthodontists. They are highly trained and regulated so you will be in good hands. Another important factor to consider is good vibes! There can be multiple visits over a considerable time period, so you want to be comfortable at whichever dental practice you choose!
