If you are a parent and believe your child requires Orthodontics, there are a number of elements for you to consider.
When should treatment begin?
Age can impact a number of different issues within the mouth and we generally recommend that you see an Orthodontist as early as possible. This does not necessarily mean treatment will commence immediately; however, getting a professional opinion from observing the developing teeth will ensure the best possible treatment when the time comes.
Do all baby teeth need to be lost before treatment?
Orthodontic treatment will usually not begin until all baby teeth have been lost and the adult teeth have erupted. This is the case so treatment is permanent. Some early intervention maybe carried out by your Orthodontist to minimise future treatment.
What investment will be required?
When treatment is commenced at the optimal time, expenses may be minimised. Finding the optimal time for treatment requires recurring observation to assess when the teeth and jaws are ready for growth.
