Children’s Orthodontics

Early Orthodontics (Under 10)

Shaping Children’s Teeth

As a parent, you want the best for your child. That includes healthy teeth and a pleasing smile. Start with regular dental care. The American Dental Association recommends that a child visit the dentist by his or her first birthday, while baby (primary) teeth are emerging. Appolonia ensures that we adhere to the "Gold Standard" of any worldwide orthodontic practice, which calls for maintaining a complete set of records throughout the orthodontic treatment for kids.Our pedodontists at Appolonia can alert you to any concerns about how the teeth and jaws are developing and refer you to our Orthodontists for consultation. But sometimes parents are the first to recognize a problem with the alignment of teeth and jaws. Keep in mind: All Kids Should Get a Check-up with a Children's Orthodontist No Later Than Age 7!

To have a healthy smile, your child needs teeth and jaws that are properly aligned. The American Association of Orthodontists (AAO)recommends that your child get a check-up with a Children’s orthodontist at the first recognition of the existence of an orthodontic problem, but no later than age 7. By then, your child has enough permanent teeth for an orthodontist to determine whether an orthodontic problem exists or is developing. Putting off a check-up with a Children’s orthodontist in Abu Dhabi until a child has lost all baby teeth could be a disservice. Some orthodontic problems may be easier to correct if they’re found early. A check-up no later than age 7 allows your orthodontist to recommend the appropriate orthodontic Treatment for Kids at the proper time. If early treatment for kids is in order, the orthodontist may achieve results that may not be possible once the face and jaws have finished growing. Children’s braces are orthodontic appliances used to align and straighten teeth that are crowded or crooked. Modern children’s metal braces are more comfortable than ever and the cheapest alternative for orthodontic correction.
