Early Interceptive Orthodontics or Children’s Orthodontics in Ryde

DID YOU KNOW… Your dentist should regularly assess your child and their need for early interceptive orthodontics between the ages of 7-10?

Early interceptive orthodontics is recommended to help assess and guide your child’s jaw growth and create enough space for their adult teeth as they’re still growing. While they may still need braces or aligners when all their adult teeth come into position for some fine tuning, this often minimises the need to extract or remove healthy adult teeth and reduces the complexity of orthodontic treatment in the future.

Does your child grind their teeth or snore?

If your child snores loudly, breathes heavily, breathes with their mouth open or grinds their teeth, or have daytime sleepiness or behaviour issues (ADHD-like symptoms), this may be an indication of an airway issue such as sleep apnoea. When growing children don’t get enough oxygen or sleep they need, this affects their development. If you suspect your child has sleep apnoea or a sleep-related breathing disorder, don’t ignore the symptoms. Book them in now to see one of our dentists at Dental and Facial Clinic for an assessment.

How does Orthodontics or Braces in Ryde work?

Before commencing any orthodontic treatment, we must first appropriately diagnose you with any issues involving your jaw growth or tooth position and alignment. We take a series of x-rays, photos and models to help the planning process. Orthodontics works by applying a gentle force to move misaligned teeth into their correct position. Our Dental & Facial Clinic dentists will see you regularly to help guide your teeth into their desired place.
