Early Orthodontic Treatment can help to avoid unnecessary Dental procedures later in life
It’s not always easy to know when your child needs early orthodontic treatment.
Many parents wait until their child has all of their permanent teeth to seek improper growth and alignment treatment, but this can often lead to more complicated and expensive procedures.
Maylands Dental Centre offers early orthodontic treatment explicitly designed to address the issues young children face with their primary teeth. We have various treatments available so that we can find the perfect solution for your child’s unique needs. Contact us today at 08 9370 5464 to schedule an initial consultation!

- Early or Late Loss of Baby Teeth: Crooked, overcrowded, or misplaced permanent teeth may occur if baby teeth are not lost in a timely manner.
- Protruding Teeth: Teeth that protrude indicate that the lower or upper teeth are pushed forward or outward in the mouth. They are more susceptible to injury or damage during accidents. It also causes speech impediments or difficulties in eating.
- Crossbite: Many parents don't recognize their child's bad bites until it's too late, and their teeth are already chipping away! Come see us today to give your child a healthy smile.
- Crowded Front Teeth: Too little room for the teeth to erupt can cause a condition known as crowding. If your child has crowded front teeth, it's essential to get them treated as soon as possible.

What happens during early orthodontic treatment?
Early orthodontic appointments are generally similar to other orthodontic consultations. During this initial dental visit, our experienced team will conduct a thorough visual check to identify any potential issues. Following that, pictures are taken to document dental treatment progress, and x-rays are performed to reveal any internal problems with the jaw bone or teeth. If an orthodontic appliance is required, impressions will be taken and sent to a dental laboratory, where a device tailored to your child will be created.
The majority of your child’s first orthodontics appointment will be spent outlining what to expect from the comprehensive treatment and what our targets are. In addition, we’ll talk about the cost of effective treatment, whether your dental insurance will cover it, and your payment choices.
