How do removable aligners help early treatment?

Removable aligners in early treatment are designed to gently guide the developing teeth into more favourable positions. These aligners are particularly useful for making minor adjustments in spacing and alignment, which can prevent more complex issues as the child grows. Meanwhile, their removable nature allows for better oral hygiene and less disruption to your child’s daily life.

Think your child may need early treatment?

Signs that your child may need early orthodontic treatment include teeth which protrude, teeth erupting into crossbite (behind the bottom teeth), width problems with the back teeth in crossbite,  thumb/finger sucking habits, and early or late loss of baby teeth. An orthodontic consultation is the best way to identify the need for early intervention.
