Early (Orthodontic) Intervention

When It Comes to Your Child’s Smile, Timing Matters

Early orthodontic assessment plays a key role in guiding healthy dental and facial development. At The Dental Family Beaumaris, we believe that identifying orthodontic issues early—typically between the ages of 7 and 10—can make a lasting difference in your child’s oral health and confidence.

Our experienced dentists carefully monitor jaw growth, bite alignment, and the development of permanent teeth to detect potential issues before they progress. Early intervention can help create sufficient space for incoming teeth, reduce the need for complex future treatments, and support a natural, balanced smile as your child grows.

We’re proud to have guided many Bayside families through these important early stages, ensuring that every child receives the right advice and care for a healthy, confident smile.

What Does Early Orthodontic Treatment Involve?

We understand that every child’s smile is unique. Here’s what our early intervention sessions include –

  • Addressing habits like thumb-sucking or mouth breathing
  • Regular monitoring of tooth and jaw development
  • Space maintainers or expanders to guide jaw growth
  • Interceptive braces to correct bite or alignment

If early treatment isn’t needed, we simply continue to monitor your child’s development. Our approach is always personalised.

Why Early Intervention Matters

  • To prevent more complex orthodontic issues in teen age
  • To encourage better facial development
  • To reduce need for future tooth extractions
  • To build your child’s confidence early

Avoid the DIY Trap – Trust a Professional’s Take

DIY orthodontics, honestly the ‘wait and watch’ approach, may cause long-term harm. On the other hand, when you choose proper early evaluation by qualified professionals, you ensure a predictable and safe outcome tailored to your child’s needs.
