Bringing your child to see a Specialist Orthodontist can set them up for a lifetime of healthy, happy smiles. Early intervention treatments can reduce the chance of tooth decay and tooth extractions, and even prevent the need for more intensive treatments later in life.
Though we can enhance your smile at any age, your child should have their initial visit as young as seven years old. At this early age, orthodontic treatment may not be necessary, but Dr Hoey can examine your child’s smile to determine the most opportune time to begin treatment.
By the age of seven, your child’s first adult molars will probably have grown in. Dr Hoey will be able to tell if teeth are growing in such a way that will create and overbite or crossbite before the issue worsens. Timely screening will ensure that your child’s smile grows in a healthy way, and can reduce the length and complexity of their orthodontic treatments.
Invisalign® First is specifically designed to help guide the growth of your child’s jaw and ensure proper space for their current and incoming teeth. Our clear aligners are custom-made from smooth plastic that won’t irritate your child’s cheeks and gums. Plus they are removable, so your child won’t need to change their eating or brushing habits.
Protect the health of your child’s teeth and bring them in for their first consultation with Dr Hoey. He will let you know if Invisalign® First or a gentle expander could help shape your child’s growing smile.
The next step is to book a consultation with our Specialist Orthodontist, Dr James Hoey.
