With early assessment and treatment, we can `intercept’ or treat your children’s dental concerns prior to the time that they have fully developed, leading to better dental facial aesthetics, occlusal (bad bite) and function. 

At Sparkle Dental Boutique, in line with the American Association of Orthodontics (AAO), we like to see children for an orthodontic assessment, by the age of seven, when they have a mixture of milk (primary) and adult (permanent) teeth.

At this age, children may experience dental crowding, too much space between teeth, protruding teeth, extra or missing teeth and sometimes jaw growth problems. An orthodontic assessment allows our specialist to assess developing dentition and facial growth.

Children may have also acquired other orthodontic problems which will develop over time. These problems can be caused by thumb or finger-sucking, mouth breathing, dental disease, abnormal swallowing, poor dental hygiene, the early or late loss of baby teeth, accidents or poor nutrition, all of which can be corrected simply with early intervention.  

At Sparkle Dental Boutique, our Specialist Orthodontist or braces expert has extensive knowledge and experience of caring for children with orthodontic problems and will advise, reassure and manage the dental wellbeing of your children.
