LILLYBROOK DENTAL

Children's Orthodontics

For children’s braces, including braces for teens, we have the technology and experience to help kids and teens through a range of treatment options.

Most parents aren’t aware that children’s braces are just one treatment pathway for teeth straightening. In fact, early interceptive treatment – also known as Phase I treatment – may be what’s required for your child. Interceptive orthodontics is the guidance of teeth eruption and correction of malocclusion (abnormal bite) by early intervention in order to improve future outcomes. This is usually achieved by simple fixed or removable appliances.

The ideal age for a growth and development check is between the ages of 7 and 10 years. That way, if interceptive treatment is required, we can take advantage of the natural growth which occurs during this period. Ultimately, this may help avoid more expensive and expensive braces and surgical treatment in future.

LILLYBROOK DENTAL

When is the best time to start with Orthodontics for my child?

The best way to know if your child requires early interceptive orthodontic treatment is to book an appointment for a growth and development check. This will allow us to understand whether your child is experiencing:

  • Jaw misalignment
  • Overcrowding
  • Difficulty with chewing or speech
  • A persistent behavioural habit, such as thumb sucking or tongue thrusting, which is affecting the growth and development of their teeth
  • Early loss of baby teeth because of decay or trauma
  • Mouth breathing or snoring
  • A family history of impacted or missing teeth.

Any invasive or surgical procedure has risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner. Individual results can vary.

Children’s braces: what are the options?

Actually, your child may not need braces initially. In phase I treatment, a patient may undergo treatment involving expansion, an active retainer, or partial braces. The objective of phase I treatment is to make use of natural growth to develop the jaw to create space for future permanent teeth. We also want to improve the relationship between the upper and lower jaws.

In phase II treatment, we want to position all teeth to make the most of their position and function. This is usually achieved by full braces for anywhere between 12 and 24 months. Depending on your child’s specific condition, the duration of treatment may be shorter or longer.

What are the benefits of children’s braces

As part of an overall approach to orthodontic treatment, children’s braces have many benefits.

Among the many benefits, when used in conjunction with other elements of treatment, children’s braces can:

  • Have a positive effect on jaw growth
  • Improved airway
    Prevent the need for tooth extraction
  • Decrease the likelihood of trauma to protruding front teeth
  • Help build confidence and self-esteem

Testimonials

I’ve been to many different dentists over the years, and I would have to say that this is up there with the best! The staff are so professional, and yet so very friendly. The dentist himself, was also very friendly and did such a great job. I would highly recommend this dental surgery

Jodie

I can’t recommend Dr Raj and the team at Lillybrook Dental enough! I was 35 weeks pregnant and developed a terrible toothache (the worst timing!), they fit me in quickly and did everything they could to save the tooth, giving me all options and no pressure. I ended up needing a root canal and crown and was very upset and worried about the pain, they reassured me and despite the outcome for my tooth I had a great experience. The crown has been fitted and I am so happy with the end product. Highly recommend!

Ashley

Having been to various practices over time, and addressing issues with a “patch-up” approach, it was time to consult with a Dentist who could advise on a treatment plan that would provide longterm results. A friend recommended Lillybrook Dental. After a very thorough initial appointment Dr Raj put together a staged treatment plan to restore my teeth to their former glory. Six months later, thanks to Dr Raj and his team, I have my smile back. Most importantly I can eat the food I want without any fear of causing days of pain to my teeth or gums. I am so glad I put my trust in Lillybrook Dental. Thanks!

Steve

From the moment I walked in until the moment I left I felt very cared for by all of the staff I encountered. Everything was explained in detail as to what my options were and what the best choice would be for my treatmemt. Extremely accommodating and so kind, I felt completely at ease. With payment options such as Afterpay, Zippay and Openpay available, making it much more comfortable when it comes time to pay the bill.

Kerrie

I am a very anxious patient and Dr Raji is very calming and gentle in her care with me. She is also very patient with me and would highly recommend coming to Lillybrook Dental Surgery as the whole crew is lovely !

Hayley

Dr Raj and his team are always gentle, professional and very efficient. My husband and I have both had extractions done and Raj is so proficient at this.

The team are so kind and assuring as well which helps you feel calm. We totally recommend them for all your family dental care.

Melissa

I have nothing put praise for the friendliness of Ena on the front desk she is just the right person for the job. Then we have Dr Raj who has been very kind and gentle with doing any dental work on my teeth. He explains every bit of work that needs to be done in layman terms which is great and his dental nurse is very caring.


Thanks for the great experience and will continue visiting your Surgery .
