Isn't my child too young for orthodontics?

Screening is not the same as treatment. Most children screened at 7 need nothing except review — but the few who do need help benefit enormously from being caught early.

Will they need braces again later?

Sometimes a short second phase is needed, but it is usually simpler, shorter and less likely to require extractions.

Orthodontics

Early & interceptive orthodontics for children

Between ages 6 and 12 a child's jaws are still growing — the one window where we can guide skeletal development rather than just move teeth. Early treatment often prevents extractions, reduces the risk of trauma to protruding front teeth and shortens later braces treatment considerably.

Guide growth, not just teeth

Skeletal correction is only possible while your child is growing.

Prevent extractions later

Creating arch space early can avoid removing permanent teeth.

Protect front teeth

Retracting protruding incisors lowers the risk of sports and fall injuries.

Confidence at school

Addressing teasing-related concerns early matters for a child's self-esteem.
