Early Orthodontic Treatment for Children
Considering Orthodontic Treatment for Your Child?
Initiating orthodontic treatment at a young age offers numerous benefits. Early intervention can produce outstanding cosmetic results and provide long-term health advantages that are both cost-effective and time-efficient.
At our practice, we strive to make early orthodontic treatment a fun and exciting experience for children. Our warm and welcoming environment is designed to ensure that young patients feel comfortable during their visits. We’ve witnessed firsthand how a perfect smile can significantly boost a child’s self-esteem and confidence.
Starting orthodontic treatment early, or at least having an initial consultation, is crucial. Children’s teeth and jaws are very soft at a young age, and early signs of issues like back bites or crowding can appear as the first molars grow in. It’s not uncommon for children as young as seven to begin orthodontic treatment. Once the molars come through, our friendly orthodontists can thoroughly assess your child’s dental development.
Identifying potential crowding, bite issues, or trauma early on allows us to enhance your child’s chances of developing a beautiful and healthy smile.
Surprising Fact:
According to The Australian Association of Orthodontists, the first time your child should see an orthodontist should happen as soon as a dental problem arises, or 7 years of age at the very latest. It’s not always necessary to start treatment at such a young age but getting a simple evaluation can help us predict the best time to begin treatment.
