ORTHODONTICS FOR CHILDREN

We seek to enhance your child’s overall facial and dental development. Every child can benefit from an orthodontic assessment by the age of 8-9years and an early consultation helps us to advise you on the best time to intervene. 

The majority of orthodontic treatment is carried out when your child has most of his or her adult teeth somewhere between the ages of 10 and 14. There are however a number of problems which we can put right earlier than this if detected. Using growth modifying treatments such as functional appliances or removable braces (expanders) we can reduce the complexity of future treatment or even eliminate the need for it altogether.
