Braces for kids aren’t just about straightening teeth – they’re about setting your child up for long-term oral health. Starting orthodontic treatment early allows our Specialist Orthodontists to guide jaw development, create space for adult teeth, and address issues before they become more complex.
Early intervention can help avoid future complications, reduce the need for extractions, and may even shorten overall treatment time – saving you time, money, and ensuring a healthier smile for your child.
The Australian Society of Orthodontists (ASO) recommends children have an orthodontic consultation around the age of 7. At this stage in a child’s development we can identify any potential orthodontic problems which may arise in the future.
Your child may not need to be treated at this age, but we can monitor the growth of your child’s teeth and begin treatment at the optimal time.
