Orthodontic Treatment for Children & Teens
The perfect time for your child’s first orthodontic consultation is around the age of 7 years old.
Early orthodontic support is great for establishing your child’s oral hygiene routine. It is an essential part of their development and often, their overall well-being.
Booking your child in for an orthodontic consultation is something to consider when they reach the age of 7 years old as our specialists can assess your child’s teeth and jaws to identify any potential orthodontic problems. Treatment may not necessarily be required, but the consultation will mean you can plan for any potential treatment in the years to come.
Orthodontic treatment for teenagers
Fortunately for teenagers, the days of wearing large metal braces are a thing of the past. There are a number of discreet orthodontic treatments, such as Invisalign®, suitable for teenagers which are both subtle and comfortable to wear, giving your young adult a more enjoyable orthodontic experience.
