🦷 ORTHODONTIC Q&A: WHAT TYPE OF BITE DOES YOUR CHILD HAVE? 🤔

🔹 An overbite is when the upper front teeth overlap the lower teeth too much.

🔹 An underbite is when the lower teeth sit in front of the upper teeth.

🔹 A crossbite is when some upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth when biting together.

Every smile is different! 😁 An orthodontic assessment can identify any bite concerns and determine the best way forward. ✨

If your child isn’t ready for treatment, we’ll monitor their development with FREE Annual Growth Checks until the time is right. 🌱

🦷 EARLY ASSESSMENT ≠ EARLY BRACES ✨

An early orthodontic assessment doesn’t necessarily mean early treatment. 😊

After their assessment, if your child isn’t ready for treatment yet, we monitor their development with FREE Annual Growth Checks until they’re ready to begin. 🌱

The right treatment at the right time. 💙

🤔 MYTH or FACT? 🦷

❌ Myth: You need to wait until all adult teeth have come through before seeing an orthodontist.

✅ Fact: Many children benefit from an orthodontic assessment before all of their adult teeth have erupted.

An early assessment doesn't always mean early treatment. It simply allows us to monitor your child's growth and recommend the best timing if treatment is needed.

💙 If treatment isn't needed just yet, we offer FREE Annual Growth Checks so we can continue to monitor your child's smile until the time is right.

🌟 Every smile is unique, and the right timing can make all the difference.

🦷 Dental Health Week 2026 🦷

This week is a great reminder that looking after your smile is about more than just brushing and flossing.

Regular dental check-ups help detect problems early and keep your teeth and gums healthy throughout life.

Orthodontists also play an important role in creating healthy smiles. An orthodontic assessment can identify developing bite and alignment issues early and help determine the best time for treatment if it's needed.

Here's to healthy smiles this Dental Health Week!

Happy Dental Health Week!

🦷Crooked Teeth… Did You Know?

🦷 Crooked teeth aren't always just a cosmetic concern. They can make brushing and flossing more difficult and may affect the way your teeth bite together.

👧👦 We recommend a first orthodontic assessment between 7 and 10 years, while your child's smile and jaws are still developing.

💙 If treatment isn't needed just yet, we'll continue to monitor your child's smile with FREE Annual Growth Checks.

🦷 Will your child's adult teeth come through properly?

✨ Sometimes adult teeth become trapped or don't erupt as expected. An early orthodontic assessment can identify potential problems before they become more complex.

👧👦 The ideal age for a first orthodontic assessment is between 7 and 10 years, when many developing concerns can be identified and monitored.

😬 Are your child's teeth becoming crowded?

🦷 Crowded teeth don't always mean braces are needed straight away. Sometimes early treatment can create space, while other children simply need monitoring as they grow.

👩‍⚕️ An orthodontic assessment can help determine the best approach—and the earlier concerns are identified, the more treatment options may be available.
