Specialized Orthodontic
Solutions for Children
We protect your child's future smile starting today. We support healthy jaw development with growth-guiding treatments from the age of 7.
What is Pediatric Orthodontics?
Pediatric orthodontics covers monitoring of tooth and jaw structure in growing children and treatment with early intervention when necessary. Evaluation and treatment at the right time can prevent or facilitate serious problems that may occur in the future.
With over 15 years of experience, we experience the importance of early diagnosis and treatment in pediatric orthodontics every day. We often hear "I wish we had come earlier." Therefore, we recommend orthodontic evaluation starting at age 7.
Growth potential in children helps treatment. Problems detected in the early period can be corrected more easily by guiding growth.
Building the Smile of the Future
Our goal is not just to align teeth, but also to maximize your child's facial asymmetry, speech function, and respiratory quality. We make the treatment process fun with our approach suitable for child psychology.
A Pleasant Journey for Your Child
Your child is ensured to get used to the clinic, and development level is examined with X-rays and digital measurements.
When necessary, a fixed or removable appliance most suitable for your child's age and problem is designed.
Compliance of development with the plan is checked with examinations performed every 2-3 months throughout the growth process.
After harmony between jaws is achieved, the most ideal ground for permanent teeth to emerge is prepared.
