Pediatric orthodontics focuses on diagnosing, preventing, and treating dental and facial irregularities in children. At North Face Dental & Maxillofacial Surgery Centre, we understand the importance of early orthodontic evaluation to guide proper jaw growth and tooth alignment, ensuring your child develops a healthy and confident smile. We recommend children have their first orthodontic consultation by age 7, when early signs of malocclusion (misaligned teeth or jaws) can be identified. Early intervention allows us to address problems such as crowding, bite issues, and jaw discrepancies while the bones are still growing. Our expert orthodontists use advanced diagnostic tools and personalized treatment plans to correct dental irregularities with minimally invasive techniques. Common pediatric orthodontic treatments at North Face Dental & Maxillofacial Surgery Centre include space maintainers, expanders, and partial braces designed specifically for young patients. These appliances help to create room for permanent teeth, correct crossbites, and improve oral function. Early orthodontic care often prevents the need for more complex treatment in the future, reducing overall treatment time and improving outcomes.
