ORTHODONTIC SERVICES
ORTHODONTIC SERVICES
We offer orthodontic services for children, ensuring convenient, high-quality care in a kid-friendly environment. Parents can save time with comprehensive dental and orthodontic treatment all in one place.
Pediatric dentists care for oral health, while orthodontists focus on aligning teeth and jaws. Proper alignment improves dental health, makes hygiene easier, and can correct severe jaw issues. Orthodontists provide specialized treatment to address these needs.
WHAT ADVANTAGES COME WITH STARTING ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT EARLY?
By age seven, children should see an orthodontist to catch and prevent issues. Early treatment guides growth and creates space for permanent teeth, with a possible second phase for alignment if needed.
• Lower front teeth ahead of upper teeth (underbite).
• Jaw shifting to one side (crossbite).
• Crowded front teeth.
• Teeth spaced too far apart.
• Extra or missing teeth.
• Teeth that meet incorrectly or not at all.
• Thumb, finger, or pacifier habits affecting teeth or jaw growth.
PREPARING FOR ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT
Making A Positive Visit To The Dentist
If this is your child’s first visit for orthodontic treatment, it’s natural to feel a bit anxious. Before the appointment, we suggest framing the visit positively and keeping explanations simple. For example, let your child know that the orthodontist will check their teeth and make sure they are growing straight. Avoid using terms like “braces” or “tightening,” which might sound intimidating. Allow the orthodontist to explain the process in a child-friendly way that won’t cause fear or discomfort.
