Endeavour Smiles Group is pleased to be part of so many young patients’ journeys to straighter smiles through orthodontic treatments, and recommend starting as soon as all permanent teeth have erupted.
The clinic offers free orthodontic consultations for all patients, where the appropriate recommendation for your child’s alignment needs will be explored.
Any questions, concerns and lifestyle risk factors are taken into consideration and a treatment plan is developed that is best suited for your child.
Metal braces are the standard for orthodontic treatment. Metal braces have wires and brackets connected to the teeth to create a frame that can be adjusted according to the desired alignment of the teeth.
The brackets come in different colours (which can be pretty attractive for kids). Getting metal wires and brackets installed on the teeth is foreign at first, but your child will get used to it with time.
The popularly growing alternative to braces is Invisalign. Invisalign is a series of transparent aligners worn over the teeth, to adjust them into the desired place. While some patients may prefer Invisalign because it is removable and invisible, not everyone is eligible for treatment.
Clear aligners can only treat mild to moderate cases of malocclusion.
Your dentist will inform you whether your child’s particular needs are suitable for Invisalign.
If you’re concerned about your child’s orthodontic health, it’s time to schedule a free consultation, so the team can assess if your child would benefit from early intervention or ongoing monitoring of their growth and development.
