They did not rush into starting work before the kids mouths were ready, no teeth were pulled either. The staff and Dr Eder are fantastic, always answer the phones and return calls. Now that the kids have started braces, all is going really well..

Braces for Kids: Treatment Options Explained
We offer two main stages of orthodontic care for kids in Boynton Beach:
1. Phase 1 Early Intervention (Ages 7-12):
Early interventions such as expanders or partial braces help guide jaw growth and make room for incoming adult teeth. This can often prevent crowding and avoid extractions later.
Example: A palatal expander may be used to gently widen the upper jaw and avoid complex treatment later on.
Ideal for kids showing early signs of misalignment or bite issues.
2. Traditional (Full) Braces (Ages 12+):
Once most adult teeth are in, full braces become the go-to option for confident, healthy smiles, gently shifting teeth into their ideal positions using brackets and wires that apply consistent, controlled pressure over time.
Kids love picking from 30+ fun bracket colors at every visit or choosing clear brackets for a more subtle look.
- Braces Brag Board: Kids love seeing their transformation on our “Smile Hall of Fame”. It’s a fun way to celebrate progress and boost confidence.
- Warm, Friendly Vibe: Our team speaks in kid-friendly language and always takes time to explain what’s happening, so children feel calm and in control.
- Friendly language: Dr. Eder explains tools and treatments in easy, kid-friendly ways.
Kids’ Braces FAQs – What Boynton Beach Parents Ask Most
When should my child first visit for braces?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that kids have their first orthodontic check-up by age 7. At Eder Orthodontics in Boynton Beach, we offer early evaluations to see if and when your child may need braces.
Many kids don’t need treatment right away and if braces can wait, Dr. Eder will tell you.
Does Dr. Eder personally adjust my child’s braces?
Yes, every visit. Dr. Eder personally handles all adjustments and treatment steps for children with braces, ensuring comfort, consistency, and great results.
There are no handoffs to assistants, just expert care every time.
What if there’s an issue with my child’s braces after hours?
If your child’s braces need urgent attention, like a poking wire or broken bracket we offer same-day emergency care. You can call or text Dr. Eder directly, even on weekends, at no extra charge.
How do you help kids feel comfortable with braces?
Dr. Eder and his team focus on comfort, communication, and personal connection to make braces a positive experience for kids:

Many parents tell us that Dr. Eder truly delivers on his mission to provide the most child-friendly orthodontic care in Boynton Beach, FL.
Are early braces worth it for my child?
Sometimes. Early (Phase 1) treatment is only recommended when it prevents bigger problems later like severe crowding or crossbites. If it’s not needed, Dr. Eder will recommend waiting.
Our goal is to keep braces for kids effective and affordable.
Can kids with braces still play sports or instruments?
Many of our young patients are involved in sports or music. Dr. Eder provides:
– Mouthguard guidance when needed
– Orthodontic wax for comfort with wind instruments

"Dr. Eder is the best orthodontist in the Boynton area! My son went to Dr. Eder after a bad experience we had from another orthodontist in Boynton Beach. Dr. Eder gladly took over. My childrens’ teeth are beautiful. The staff is exceptional, and they go the extra mile accommodating scheduling appointments."

"Both of our kids received braces and treatment from Dr. Eder and his staff. We checked out other offices and Eder Orthodontics was less expensive and the service was unbelievable, definitely 5 star! Both kids have beautiful smiles and loads of confidence. Don’t waste your time and money, call Eder Orthodontics.
Happy dad"

"All three of my kids went through Eder Orthodontics through the years. Almost like extended family by the time we were done. The staff was always friendly and engaged, and Dr Eder was very caring and really took a personal interest in his patients. Pretty good repertoire of dad jokes too! Highly, highly recommended. Would go again without a thought."
