Why Early Braces for Kids Matter

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends every child have an orthodontic evaluation by age 7. At Brodie Bowman Orthodontics we focus on early detection of alignment issues, crowded teeth, overbites or underbites, jaw-growth concerns, and bite misalignment. Catching these early can make future treatment faster, simpler, or even unnecessary. Kids braces aren’t just about looks; they’re the foundation for a lifetime of healthy teeth.

Questions parents ask

Kids Braces FAQ

What age should my child get braces?

The AAO recommends a first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. That doesn’t mean braces start then, most kids simply get a growth-monitoring plan, and we begin treatment only at the optimal moment for their development.

How much do braces for kids cost in Fort Walton Beach?

Every smile is different, so we quote an exact price at your free consultation, and it’s transparent, with interest-free in-house payment plans, most insurance accepted, and CareCredit available. Paying in full earns a discount.

Do braces hurt?

Modern braces are smaller and gentler than the ones parents remember. There can be mild pressure for a day or two after adjustments, and our team gives every child simple comfort tips that work.

Where do consultations happen?

All new-patient consultations are held at our Fort Walton Beach office at 28 Racetrack Road NW. Ongoing visits can be scheduled at either our Fort Walton Beach or Niceville location.
