Early detection to guide growth

The Preventive Orthodontic Assessment

Between the ages of 8 and 10, your child's teeth develop rapidly. An early assessment allows us to evaluate jaw growth, intercept bad habits, and avoid more extensive treatments during adolescence.

Discover the solutions

Why seek help from childhood?

Early detection of abnormalities

We can immediately spot a lack of space for future permanent teeth or a misalignment of the jaws.

Intercepting bad habits

We identify and correct habits that disrupt growth (thumb sucking, mouth breathing).

Simplified future treatments

Early intervention can avoid treatment during adolescence. If a second intervention is necessary, it will be simpler, shorter, and more predictable.

When should I make an appointment?

Even without visible signs, a check-up is recommended. Pay attention to: these factors

Visible discrepancies

Overlapping teeth, misalignment of the jaws, lower jaw too far forward, very late loss of baby teeth.

Functional disorders

Breathing, pronunciation, chewing, joint noises, pain

Aesthetics of the smile

Delayed loss of baby teeth, which may be a sign of a blockage in the permanent tooth

Risk of trauma

The upper teeth, which protrude far forward, are particularly vulnerable to impacts and fractures during games or sports.
