As parents, we want nothing but the best for our children. And few things bring more pride and joy than seeing their genuine smiles.Since becoming a father myself, I feel particularly responsible for the treatment of our youngest patients.In children, the timing of treatment is important, with the shortest and best results achieved between the ages of 10 and 14. We know that starting orthodontic treatment at the right time can make a big difference in your child’s comfort level and quality of life. That’s why we’re committed to never making them wait longer than necessary.
When deciding on orthodontic treatment for children, timing is therefore crucial. The optimal age can be determined as soon as the child has all their permanent teeth. If skeletal abnormalities, missing permanent teeth, or malocclusion are detected in a child before this age, treatment may be started earlier. I advise parents to bring their child to the orthodontist for their first check-up at the age of 9, since this is when the overall condition of their teeth and any upcoming treatment needs can be identified with a high degree of accuracy. For a timely referral for an orthodontic examination, consult your child’s pediatrician or dentist, who monitors and knows your child well.Timely intervention will avoid later and more demanding orthodontic treatment.
It’s perfectly normal to wonder whether your child is too young for orthodontic treatment or to worry that braces might be painful.But rest assured, there’s nothing to fear. The treatment is carried out under constant supervision and is tailored to each child individually. By closely monitoring changes during the course of treatment, any discomfort will be quickly resolved and corrected.
At our clinic, we offer your child various types of dental braces, but I can tell you that most of our youngest patients opt for fixed braces with metal brackets. Remember how we used to hide them when we were kids? Today, children like to decorate their braces with colourful rubber bands. It can be a lot of fun! When deciding on orthodontic treatment for their children, parents often worry that the costs are too high. That’s why we strive for transparency and flexibility starting from your very first visit to our clinic. We offer our patients several installment payment options, spread out over the entire treatment period. I invite you to visit us with your child for a consultation, where we will assess the need for treatment, present the options best suited for your child, and prepare a treatment plan together. I look forward to meeting you soon.
