Pediatric Orthodontic Evaluation and Treatment
Orthodontic intervention at an early age can help prevent the need for treatment of a more extensive nature, at a later age. The first pediatric orthodontics evaluation should ideally be done before the child turns seven. Common orthodontic problems that we treat in children include bite problems, crowded teeth, jutting front teeth, and crooked teeth. Our dental team can also guide newly forming teeth into the right position.
Our Treatment Options
One of the major pediatric orthodontic treatment options we offer is dental braces, of three kinds, namely metal braces, clear ceramic braces and the most recent Invisalign braces. Based on the nature of your child’s dental problem, and your individual preferences and budget, we’ll select the most suitable braces that would guarantee lasting results. Before starting the orthodontic brace treatment, we’ll get an impression of the child’s teeth and then map out the desired teeth and facial profile.
We know that several orthodontic problems in children are caused by habits such as thumb sucking, finger sucking, lip biting and fingernail biting. Our pediatric orthodontists can assist your child in getting rid of these habits, if any.
