Paediatric Orthodontics

We offer functional appliance treatments to guide the development of the jaw and teeth, addressing issues like overbites, underbites, and improper jaw positioning. These appliances are most effective during the early stages of growth, helping to ensure a balanced bite and facial structure. Also, we offer habit-breaking appliances designed to help children overcome persistent oral habits such as thumb-sucking, tongue-thrusting, or nail-biting. These habits can lead to misaligned teeth and jaw problems if left unchecked. Our customized habit-breaking appliances gently discourage these behaviours, promoting healthier oral development. By intervening early, we can prevent the need for more invasive treatments in the future, ensuring your child’s teeth and bite develop properly. When a child loses a baby tooth prematurely, it can cause alignment issues for the developing permanent teeth. Our customized space maintainers are designed for comfort and effectiveness, guiding your child’s teeth into their correct positions. This preventive treatment helps avoid more complex orthodontic procedures in the future, promoting healthy dental development. Benefits of Space Maintainers:

• Prevents misalignment of permanent teeth.
• Maintains the natural spacing for proper dental growth.
• Reduces the need for future orthodontic treatments.
• Protects against jaw and bite issues caused by shifting teeth.
• Custom-made for your child’s comfort and oral health.
