Orthodontic treatment for children

What are some signs my child needs orthodontic treatment?

Some signs to bring your child in for a consultation with Dr Lasni include:

• Early or late loss of baby teeth
• Crowded or poorly positioned teeth
• Jawbones that shift or make noise
• Difficulty chewing or biting
• Teeth that don’t meet together when biting
• Jaws and teeth that are out of proportion to your child’s face
• Finger-sucking habits that continue beyond the age of 6

Not all signs of orthodontic issues are obvious. Only a Specialist Orthodontist like Dr Lasni will be able to properly diagnose and treat early orthodontic issues. It’s best to bring your child in for a free consultation around the age of 7 - regardless of whether or not they show symptoms.

Invisalign® First for children

Mysmile Orthodontics offers an Invisalign® treatment option just for kids! Invisalign® First is designed for growing smiles ages 6-10. The smooth, clear aligners are custom made to guide your child’s jaw and teeth into alignment, and can save time and money on later treatment.

Invisalign® clear aligners are removable, so they won’t get in the way of your child’s regular eating and oral hygiene routines - making them an extra gentle introduction to the world of orthodontics.

*Invisalign® aligners are a registered medical device, you should always read and follow the label as well as the instructions of your treating orthodontist.
