Braces for children: all your questions answered
Braces for children: In this week’s Q&A, Dr Lían O’Dwyer, specialist orthodontist at our Knocklyon practice in Dublin, answers some common questions about braces for children, including when and why to consider orthodontic treatment
Q: At what age should my child be assessed for braces for children?
A: The Orthodontic Society of Ireland recommends that you bring your child for an orthodontic assessment at approximately seven or eight years of age. Some children may benefit from an orthodontic evaluation as young as age five or six, and others can wait until the baby teeth have fallen out and the permanent teeth are coming into place at 11 or 12 years.
Q: What causes the need for braces?
A: Tooth and jaw issues are often inherited. Some problems can be caused by losing baby teeth too soon, habits such as thumb-sucking, or as a result of accidents. If there is not enough room in the jaws for the teeth, they become crowded or crooked.
Q: Why is it necessary to correct crowded or crooked teeth in children?
A: Crooked, crowded or misaligned teeth can be hard to keep clean, potentially leading to decay and gum disease. Misaligned teeth can also often interfere with a healthy bite, which can lead to excessive tooth wear, jaw problems, or chipped teeth.
Q: How will I know if my child needs braces?
A: Your family dentist can help you determine if and when to consider orthodontic evaluation, as well as recommending a specialist orthodontist.
Q: What are the signs that my child may need braces?
A: Some signs that a child may benefit from braces include:
- Irregular, delayed or early loss of baby teeth
- Difficulty in chewing or biting
- Crowded, misplaced, or blocked-out teeth
- Jaws that shift or make sounds
- Biting the cheek or roof of the mouth
- Teeth that meet abnormally or not at all
- Jaws and teeth that are out of proportion to the rest of the face
Q: What is the best age for a child to be fitted with braces?
A: Orthodontic treatment most commonly begins between ages eight and 14. Children in this age range have at least some permanent teeth and are still growing. Your specialist orthodontist will advise you on the most appropriate time to start any treatment.
Q: Is orthodontic treatment painful?
A: The process of fitting braces is not painful. Some discomfort is to be expected for a period after appliances are fitted for the first time or after they have been tightened. However, this usually settles after a few days.
Q: How long does orthodontic treatment take?
A: Treatment typically lasts 12-24 months, depending on individual requirements. Regular visits for adjustment and progress review will vary in frequency from every five to eight weeks, according to the treatment stage. Following treatment, your child will be advised to use a fixed or removable retainer to keep the teeth in their new position.

Dentist in Knocklyon gets a sparkling makeover
Dental Care Ireland Knocklyon practice manager Finnola Jones discusses how a recent makeover has made a huge difference for this dentist in Knocklyon
Dental Care Ireland’s practice in Knocklyon, Dublin 16, is conveniently located in Knocklyon Shopping Centre. Even though it rebranded as a Dental Care Ireland practice in June 2015, this dentist in Knocklyon is a mainstay in the community, having been operating there since 1992.
Strong links with the community
“Our principal dentist, Dr Vincent McDonagh, managed a one-surgery practice here for years, so he has built up very strong links with the community,” says Finnola Jones, practice manager with Dental Care Ireland Knocklyon.
“The practice has been transformed in the last couple of years; we have taken on five people since Dental Care Ireland became involved. Now, we have three dentists, one orthodontist, four dental nurses and myself.”
A complete refurbishment
As the number of staff has grown, so too has the practice itself. “We recently underwent a complete refurbishment, and took on additional space,” says Finnola.
“We added another surgery and a brand-new reception area to the practice to deal with increasing demand, and also improved our visibility. Beforehand, our unit has a little hidden away from the public, but now we’re front and centre in the shopping centre so people know we’re here!”
‘It’s the nicest surgery I’ve ever been in!’
This investment has certainly paid dividends with the community. “We’re gotten lots of comments from our patients, who are really impressed with the new look of the practice,” says Finnola. “It used to be a little old-fashioned, but now it really catches the eye. To be honest, it’s the nicest surgery I’ve ever worked in, or been in full stop!”
The dentist in Knocklyon offers all the general dental treatments like fillings, x-rays, crowns and extractions. However, it has also responded to demand by adding orthodontic treatment. “We have an orthodontist, Dr Lian O’Dwyer, who looks after patients who are looking for this treatment. It really is becoming more and more popular among both children and adults,” says Finnola.
We’ve doubled our capacity
It is clear that this dentist in Knocklyon is benefitting hugely from the revamp. “We’re just so busy at the moment,” says Finnola. “We’ve doubled our capacity after the renovation, and we really needed to because the demand was there. Knocklyon is a really family-focused area, and we see that demographic reflected in the patients who come into the practice.”
Everything that Finnola and the team do is focused on providing patients with a better experience. “Our top priority is making sure that our patients are comfortable,” she says. “We try to be friendly to everyone who walks in the door, and maintain an upbeat atmosphere. That’s a great formula, whether it’s with Vincent’s patients who he’s been treating since the 1990s, or some of the new patients who are coming in all the time.”
Making patients feel at ease
“Because we have lots of families and younger patients coming in, it’s so important to recognise that they can be a little bit nervous. Our dentists are fantastic at recognising this and making patients feel really at ease,” says Finnola.
The team are delighted to be operating in Knocklyon, and dealing with such a great community. “I’m originally from Wicklow, but it’s been brilliant working in Knocklyon,” says Finnola. “Everyone is so friendly and they’re delighted to see a local practice with staff that they know so well getting such an impressive makeover.”
The practice also makes sure to offer patients the new dental entitlements that have been brought in by the government. “There have been a number of welcome benefits that we offer here in Knocklyon, so I would ask patients to always enquire so we can check whether they qualify,” says Finnola.
“This is a community dentist, and we’re proud to represent Knocklyon!”
The DCI Knocklyon dental practice is open on Mondays from 8am to 6.30pm, on Tuesdays from 8am to 6pm, on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 9am to 7pm, on Fridays from 9am to 5pm, on Saturdays from 8.30am to 12pm, and at lunchtimes.
