Children's Orthodontic Treatment
Many parents don't know that early assessment (when a child is 7-8 years old) can shorten the duration of orthodontic treatment, and reduce the need for more invasive procedures in the future.
Treatment can begin before a child's mouth and jaw have finished developing and permanent teeth have emerged.
At Vincelli Orthodontics, we can help guide jaw development by taking advantage of your child's natural growth patterns before they require complex treatment. Treating kids early at our orthodontist offices in Calgary & Canmore is the first step to supporting the growth and development of healthy smiles.
Growth correction can prevent the need for jaw surgery, and in many cases extraction of permanent teeth can be avoided. Early assessment is key to detecting problems so that care can be delivered at the optimal time.
How can my child benefit from early orthodontic treatment?
Having orthodontic issues treated while your child is young may have an impact on their jaw growth and facial symmetry. Treatment can also eliminate the need for tooth extractions, oral surgery and orthodontic treatment later in life. This can also reduce treatment time with braces later on if they are required.
