Orthodontics for Children

An orthodontic consultation is recommended for children between the ages of six and seven, as this is when their molars start to come out. From the moment they are present in their mouth, it is possible to establish the subsequent occlusion and to evaluate the space the teeth will have on the jaw, as well as their placement and alignment. With their knowledge in orthodontics, the dentists at Centre Dentaire NP are qualified in detecting the problems that could affect the development of the teeth and jaw of your child. They are also capable of prescribing, when needed, the most appropriate treatment to give your child a smile for life.

> Misalignment of the upper jaw: it can either be too far forward or too far back, which causes a poor bite and joint problems.
> Missing space for adult teeth: a narrow palate could provoke an abnormal positioning of the teeth once the baby teeth fall out, or the malocclusion of teeth into the jaw.
> Teeth that could be positioned better: to avoid several alignments disturbing teeth such as a crossbite or overlapping.
> Any other obstacle with teeth: that could result in speech difficulties or even to chew.
