Early Orthodontics Greystanes
Orthodontics diagnoses, prevents, and treats problems in the alignment of teeth and jaws.
Early orthodontics treatment at Greystanes detects problems within a child’s developing mouth and has them treated before they magnify into more serious oral issues. It allows the healthy development of the children’s mouths and teeth. Bite problems can be treated faster at an early age as the bones are still developing and can be easily manipulated.

Early Detection and Treatment with Orthodontic Appliances
Our orthodontists at Greystanes Family Dental are highly proficient at their work and are quick to notice and detect problems in the development of children’s mouths and jaw. Detecting these problems early helps in correcting the problems quickly, preventing lengthy treatment, and saving the children from potential complications or/and surgery in the future.
There are several safe-to-use orthodontic appliances for children that help in correcting their bite issues. After the consultation session, our dentist will recommend the best appliance that best suits your child’s condition.
Even if your child doesn’t require immediate treatment, our dentist will closely monitor and track the development of their mouth and ensure their jaw and teeth align correctly, so they don’t face problems in the future.
How Soon Can a Child Undergo Orthodontic Treatment?
There is no set age for children to undergo orthodontic treatment. However, our dentists suggest that children should wait till they begin getting their permanent teeth. Children usually get their permanent teeth between the ages of 7 and 12.
What Are the Advantages of Early Orthodontics Greystanes?
At Greystanes Family Dental, we carefully plan the orthodontics treatment of your child to coincide with the growth of your child’s jaws. The jawbones of children are malleable, and the treatment allows their issues to be fixed at an early age, making way for proper growth and development of the jaws and teeth. Early treatment also prevents further dental problems that may lead to tooth extractions or other dental disorders. Adults have stronger jaws and are not as malleable as children, so their treatment takes quite long. Moreover, they may have to remove their permanent teeth to realign their teeth.
Best Orthodontic Appliances for Early Orthodontics
The nature of orthodontic problems may be different for every child. Hence, the orthodontic appliance applicable for their condition would be suggested and used for treatment by our orthodontist. Some appliances used by our orthodontists in treating early orthodontics include:
1. Braces
1. Braces
Depending on the oral care required by the child’s condition, they may have to wear braces for anywhere between 1 and 3 years. There are several types of modern options in braces, such as mini braces, ceramic braces, self-litigating braces, etc., that are comfortable for children to wear. However, traditional metal braces may also be suggested by our dentists in some cases if required by your child’s condition. Once the braces are removed, children often require wearing retainers to ensure the fixed position of the teeth and jaws are maintained. However, Invisalign has been working really well for most cases. They are easy to handle and more comfortable than traditional braces. Talk to our caring team today to find out what can be the best fit for your child.
2. Palatal Expander
2. Palatal Expander
Children suffering from crowded teeth are usually treated with a palatal expander. This appliance helps widen the mouth’s rook, which in turn creates more room for the teeth to grow. Installing a palatal expander requires using an expansion screw and two pieces of plastic that are skilfully fixed to both sides of the molars on the upper jaw. On turning the expansion screw, mild force is applied, causing the two sides to push away from each other, which helps gradually widen the jaw. The right arch size ensures that the adult teeth grow in a better position.
3. Space Maintainers
3. Space Maintainers
On losing a tooth prematurely because of decay or an injury, the neighbouring teeth tend to move into the vacant space. A space maintainer ensures that the space is kept vacant till the permanent tooth comes up in its position. Space maintainers can either be a band fixed to the empty space or a temporary crown. They are removed once the permanent tooth begins to grow.
