Children should have their first orthodontic assessment as early as age 7
The Canadian Association of Orthodontists recommends that children have their first assessment as early as six to eight years of age. Interceptive treatment, well synchronized with the child's growth, can proactively address current problems and prevent more serious ones in the future.
Children can develop orthodontic problems as a result of habits such as thumb sucking, early or late loss of baby teeth, or genetic factors. These problems include overlapping, unevenly spaced or excessively forward-tilted teeth, jaw growth problems and dental malocclusions. Fortunately, we can resolve these problems at an early age following a simple evaluation.
At Ortho Karkri
An orthodontic assessment is done free of charge
We aim to give you peace of mind by monitoring your child's bite and facial development for you. During our evaluation, we'll assess your child's bite and tooth position, and suggest techniques to prevent bad habits.
Conventional Braces
Fixed braces remain the most popular, fastest, and most affordable orthodontic treatment available. Dr. Karkri can help you determine the best treatment for your unique needs.
How does it work...
Orthodontic Braces
Once bonded to your teeth, the braces exert continuous pressure on your teeth, helping them to move into the desired position. At some appointments, your orthodontist will adjust the wires in your mouth. Some patients may also need to wear elastics or other appliances.
It is normal for teeth to be slightly mobile during treatment. This is normal and temporary; once the teeth have stabilized in their new position, they will no longer be mobile.
Invisalign® for teens
Few teenagers are enthusiastic about wearing braces, and we understand. To address our young people's concerns, one alternative we offer is Invisalign® clear aligners. They are custom-made and almost invisible. Contact us to find out if this option is right for your child.
