Details.
Orthodontic care for growing children that identifies and addresses potential problems while the dental arches and jaw are developing. Treatment may guide jaw development, improve facial symmetry, correct crooked or misaligned teeth, address excessive overjet and improper tooth eruption, create space for adult teeth and reduce the need for more extensive treatment later. The service includes an orthodontic evaluation, recommendations for suitable options such as partial braces, myofunctional exercises or orthodontic appliances including a lingual arch, and ongoing oral hygiene guidance. During the consultation, the team evaluates dental arches, existing orthodontic or alignment issues, tooth decay, gum disease and other contributing factors.
