Orthodontic Treatment For Children
At Vivaldi Smile Artisans, we offer early treatment options for children to support their growth and the development of amazing smiles.
Early diagnosis and treatment is vital for achieving optimal results for younger patients. We can intercept and treat most problems without major difficulties, if the condition is discovered early enough when a child’s teeth and jaws are still in development. By doing so,(in some cases), we can eradicate the underlying problem and eliminate the need for orthodontics later in life.

When should my child visit Dr Vivaldi for an Orthodontic consultation?
The best time for a child’s first orthodontic consultation is between the ages of six and eight when the first molars erupt and establish the posterior bite. During this time, Dr Vivaldi will examine your child’s smile to assess for orthodontic issues. Early interceptive treatment can help to develop a healthy bite, reducing the amount of treatment that may be needed later. However, even if we identify an issue at your child’s early consultation, that doesn’t mean we need to start treatment right away. We can recommend that we monitor the issue, and will then be able to address it at the optimum time.

Can Orthodontics influence jaw growth?
Dr Vivaldi uses growth modification appliances (e.g. twin block, plates) to encourage the growth of the jaws to improve their relationship. When the jaws are aligned both bite and facial appearance will also improve. Because the treatment takes advantage of the child’s own growth, timing is of the upmost importance to achieve the best results.
Dr Vivaldi will explain and guide you when is the best time to treat your child’s malocclusion.

What are the health benefits of Orthodontic treatment?
Although one of the benefits of Orthodontic treatment is improving facial aesthetics, it will also help correct all malocclusions caused by jaw misalignment, crooked teeth and so forth.
These orthodontic problems can affect not only your child’s smile, but also how your child chews and cleans their teeth, which can lead to long lasting effects later in life.
Crowded teeth are linked to long term problems, as they are harder to properly clean and floss, and can contribute to cavities and gum disease. Protruding teeth are prone to accidental breakages and other problems like open-bites, whilst cross bites can lead to uneven growth, tooth wear and functional problems.
