Very grateful to Dr Derek Mahony for the invitation to Pierre Fauchard Academy.

Did you know that we can recognise and treat crooked teeth before a child’s adult teeth have even emerged?

Dr Mariola Prokop has over 30 years’ experience working with children in early interceptive dentistry and orthodontics, and she knows exactly what she’s looking for!

There are signs of course… things like:
• Small or no gaps between baby teeth
• Mouth breathing and other breathing issues
• Snoring, teeth grinding and other sleep disorders
• Overbite or underbite (malocclusion)

It is for this reason that we recommend an orthodontic assessment before a child is 7 years old.

We think kids really are the best!

Which is why we put them front and centre in our practice.

Our clinic is a bright, colourful space purposely designed to be welcoming and friendly to all of our patients – young and not-so-young. Our treatment rooms are warm and comfortable, and we offer a bright and cheerful waiting room to help put nervous or anxious children at ease.

We have a team of therapists with diverse skills who work together to develop an integrated approach to our treatment programs. They are all experienced at enabling children to relax both before and during their appointment. Where possible, we try to schedule treatments with several therapists back-to-back, to make your visits easier to manage. We can even help our younger patients with oral health education and regular preventative dental consultations.

In fact, we do everything possible to make dental visits as fun and as interesting as we can for our young patients.

If you think your child could benefit from our braces-free, integrative treatments, contact Braceless Choice today. Or take advantage of our free online check by submitting two photos of your child for us to assess. https://bracelesschoice.com.au/ -assessment

Is your child struggling to pay attention at school, misbehaving or even falling asleep in class!

After two challenging years and so many months of home learning, you may have put this behaviour down to being tired from the back-to-school routine. And that may well be the case.

However, these issues could also be due to problems with their breathing that affect sleep, and that may cause long-term issues with teeth and jaw development that can lead to obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) in adulthood.

Things to watch out for:
• Hyperactivity and disruptive behaviour
• Emotional outbursts, such as tantrums, crying and aggression
• Snoring
• Teeth grinding while asleep
• Bed-wetting

If you’re concerned about your child’s behaviour, check out this article on our website to learn more about sleep disordered breathing (SBD), and how it can be treated using early interceptive dental treatments like those provided by Braceless Choice.

Hello Autumn!

Autumn in Melbourne is a truly lovely season with crisp, clear days just right for adventure.

So get those little bodies moving! Go for a walk or a bike ride. Kick some leaves. Visit a different playground. Explore a new neighbourhood or park.

Being active with your kids is a good opportunity to remind your child (and you) to breathe through their nose. It’s not only the best way to filter and warm the air that is entering the body – which may help prevent breathing difficulties such as asthma – it also ensures proper jaw and teeth development in children.

Check out how this system works and how mouth-breathing can cause crooked teeth, by watching the informative video created by fellow early interceptive dental specialist, Dr German Ramirez, on our website. https://bracelesschoice.com.au

Confident, healthy and ready to take on the world!

At Braceless Choice, we believe every child deserves a beautiful, healthy smile. Which is why we encourage parents not to wait until a child is in their tweens or teens before seeking orthodontic care for their crooked teeth.

Many of the problems that cause crooked teeth are due to underlying issues with the airways and breathing – such as mouth-breathing, teeth-grinding, and snoring – which can affect proper development of the jaws and teeth. These are problems that can only be addressed while a child is still growing.

It is for this reason that we recommend an orthodontic assessment before a child is 7 years old.

Children’s teeth can develop incorrectly for a number of reasons, including genetic factors, childhood habits such as thumb sucking, and obstructed airways or chronic mouth breathing.

Crooked teeth and “bad bites” – what we usually refer to as “malocclusion” – usually requires some kind of orthodontic treatment to correct. If these problems are not corrected, they can lead to more serious issues:
• Upper airways obstruction
• Problems with speaking
• Teeth grinding
• Loss of baby teeth too soon or very late
• Tooth decay
• Gum disease
• Jaw joint problems

Fortunately, most cases of malocclusion can be treated during childhood using non-invasive methods including removable appliances, myofunctional therapy, osteotherapy and breath retraining.

To find out more about the causes and treatments of malocclusion, check out the article on our website.

Summer holidays are over and the kids are back at school! (Did we really hear that sigh of relief?)

After a couple of years of interruptions, we are very keen to get our young patients back on track with their treatment plans.

We also encourage anyone who has delayed treatment for their child during this uncertainty to get in touch. As the biggest success factor for Braceless Choice’s early interceptive treatments is age, please don’t leave it too late!

We still have a number of COVIDsafe procedures in place which you can check out on our website. https://bracelesschoice.com.au/covid-19-update/

Unsure whether your child would benefit from Braceless Choice’s braces-free treatments?

The biggest factor is age…

Early interceptive dental treatment can address the underlying causes of crooked teeth. Not only does this create a beautiful, healthy smile for life, it also can problems such as breathing issues, incorrect jaw alignment and bad oral habits while a child is still growing.

But we need to start early – before the mouth and jaws have fully developed, and even before adult teeth have fully emerged. For this reason we recommend your child has an orthodontic assessment before the age of 7.
