Children’s Orthodontics
At Maple Orthodontics, we specialise in helping children on their journey towards a healthy smile. We understand that orthodontic treatment can be a significant milestone in your child’s life, which is why we aim to make it a pleasant and positive experience.
When should my child visit an orthodontist?
- You may not think that orthodontic treatment is something you need to consider for your child until they become a teenager. However, early intervention can be crucial when it comes to successful orthodontics.
- Specialist orthodontists which we have here at Maple Orthodontics, not only straighten teeth but are also trained to look at the developing jaw and denoting adult teeth in young children.
- By addressing orthodontic issues at a young age, we can guide the growth and development of your child’s teeth and jaw, helping to prevent potential problems.
- Starting the process early doesn’t mean your child will get braces immediately. It just means the orthodontist will be able to determine which problems may exist and assess the best time to start treatment.
What kind of treatment can my child have?
