An egg-citing opportunity for a perfect smile
Easter is a time for renewal and new beginnings—and what better time to consider the health and confidence of your child’s smile? Just as the season brings fresh blooms and colourful eggs, early orthodontic care can transform a little smile into a work of art that lasts a lifetime.
Why early orthodontic intervention matters?
Many parents wonder when to take their child to an orthodontist. Dr Daniel De Angelis, who leads the team at Transform Orthodontic Care and has over 25 years experience, recommends visiting an orthodontist at the age of eight, coinciding with the child’s growth phase for an early assessment. Studies show that roughly 30-40 % of Australian children could benefit from early orthodontic intervention.
An early assessment by an orthodontist allows for the identification of potential dental and jaw issues, enabling timely and less invasive intervention and a comprehensive treatment plan. This proactive approach can prevent more significant oral health problems later that might require more invasive treatments such as surgery to correct.
Dr De Angelis explains that by utilising the growth phase of the child, the orthodontist can guide the jaw growth through comprehensive treatments, ensuring that the child’s jaw alignment is developing correctly and has the capacity to accommodate all permanent teeth.
During your child’s initial consultation, Dr De Angelis and his experienced team will guide you and your child through:
- Early detection: Spotting crossbites, protruding front teeth, impacted teeth and narrow palates associated with crossbites.
- Preventive care: Implementing measures to guide the growth of teeth and jaws, like interception of problematic habits (eg thumb sucking or tongue thrusting).
- Personalised treatment plans: Tailoring a solution that fits your child’s unique needs, so they can enjoy every smile with confidence.
What to expect at your first visit
At your child’s initial consultation, they will be assessed by Dr De Angelis and you can discuss your child’s needs and any concerns. He will also undertake a facial examination (don’t worry, it’s completely non-invasive!), looking at your child’s teeth and their jaw. To learn more about the process click here.
