First orthodontic visit for children
Intercept dental problems early and give your child a healthy smile
The first orthodontic visit is a fundamental moment in a child's growth. At Absolute Health, as part of the pathway Dentistry, We offer a dedicated paediatric orthodontics service to intercept any abnormalities in tooth position and jaw bone development at an early stage.
Recommended age for the first visit: around 6 years old
At this age, the first permanent teeth start to emerge and the structure of the mouth takes shape. An early visit, along with Fluoroprophylaxis When indicated, it allows the prevention or treatment of orthodontic disorders before they become more complex.
A cosa serve la prima visita ortodontica?
During the check-up, our paediatric orthodontist:
– Assess the growth and development of the maxillary bones
Analyse the occlusion and position of the teeth
– Intercept incorrect habits like thumb sucking or mouth breathing
– Proposes, if necessary, interceptive orthodontic treatment
In the absence of issues, it will be sufficient to monitor the development with periodic checks.
What can we identify early on
Crossbite
– Open or deep bite
– Protruding or crowded teeth
– Abnormal development of the dental arches
– Bad habits affecting oral growth
Intervening in good time helps to simplify future treatments, avoiding complex appliances in adolescence.
The benefits of early intervention
– Promotes correct mouth development
– Improves smile alignment and aesthetics
– Aids breathing, posture and chewing
– Improves the child's self-confidence
– Reduces the need for more invasive extractions or treatments later on
