What are clear aligners for children and how do they work?
Clear aligners are an alternative treatment to braces for teeth straightening. They have been successfully used to treat bite, jaw and other dental development issues in children for a number of years. Dr Mafalda and her team are known for their patience, expertise and skill when delivering life-changing clear aligner treatment to children.
Early orthodontic assessments can be carried out when your child reaches the age of 5, whilst treatment can start once they reach the age of 6.
Teeth straightening for children – going beyond happy smiles
Early intervention to address the position of your child’s teeth and how they erupt can have a transformative knock-on effect on their lives in the future.
Addressing issues such as bite, tooth alignment and jaw abnormalities is clinically proven to improve breathing and posture, amongst other pathologies.
What’s more, treating these issues early can confront feelings of self-doubt and self-confidence your child may develop as a result of living with an abnormal tooth position, which is a priceless gift that will keep on giving for years to come.
