Pediatric Orthodontics focuses on guiding jaw growth and tooth alignment during the growing stages of the child.
The intervention is at its best between the age range of age 7 to 10/12 years. This can vary based on the early or delayed eruption patterns.
Pediatric/ Early Orthodontics involves the use of diverse techniques and appliances that assist in guided jaw development, interim teeth alignment and habit corrections.
Myobrace works on correcting oral habits like mouth breathing, tongue thrusting, and poor muscle balance, addressing the cause of crooked teeth rather than just the appearance.
Removable or Fixed Expansion gently widens narrow jaws, creating space for erupting teeth, improving airway volume, and often preventing extractions later.
Invisalign First uses clear, removable aligners designed specifically for growing children to align teeth while allowing natural jaw development.
The aligners are comfortable, aesthetic, and highly precise.
Using these appliances helps in the correction of airways as well so that child can be guided into nasal breathing.
3D digital (iTero) scans have replaced messy impressions, allowing accurate diagnosis, growth tracking, and predictable treatment planning.
By treating growth, function, and alignment together, pediatric orthodontics creates healthier smiles and not just straighter teeth, for life.
