The health and well-being of your child are important to us – including healthy teeth. Orthodontics is, therefore, an essential part of dental care that improves aesthetics and optimises the function of teeth and the jaw. In addition to orthodontic treatments, good prevention is critical for your child's long-term dental health.
Regular check-up visits and following the orthodontist's instructions are essential, as they can significantly influence the course of treatment.
Although we currently do not offer traditional orthodontic treatments such as implementing braces in our practice, we place great value on your comprehensive dental care. Therefore, we are happy to provide you with detailed advice to assist you or your child in planning further treatment. In our network, we have several good orthodontists whom we would be happy to recommend if needed.
Why Orthodontics?
Orthodontic treatments follow aesthetic aspects as well as functional necessities. Misalignments of teeth and the jaw can lead to chewing, speaking, and even breathing difficulties. Early corrections can avoid long-term issues and significantly improve your child's quality of life.Early Detection and Prevention
Early examination of the child's jaw and dentition can detect potential misalignments. It is recommended that children receive an orthodontic assessment as early as the age of seven. This early detection allows for determining the optimal time for treatment or, if necessary, initiating preventive measures.Prevention at Home: Pacifiers and Thumb Sucking
Your child's habits are essential to their jaw and teeth development. Prolonged pacifier use or thumb sucking can favour the development of dental misalignments.
