Children

Orthodontics for children with baby teeth.

Will my child grow out of their orthodontic result if we start too early?

You may be hesitant to have an orthodontic assesssment if your child still has baby teeth, but the truth is that when children are young there can be an opportunity to make room for the future adult teeth and to guide the growth of your child’s jaws.

Early signs

Signs your child needs an early orthodontic assessment

  • Crowded baby teeth
  • Early or late loss of baby teeth
  • Front teeth that stick out and could be hit during sport or play
  • Finger-sucking after the age of 7

Please note, your child must be between 7 & 11 years to qualify for our free tele-health assessment.
