Pediatric & Teen Orthodontics
🧒 Pediatric & Teen Orthodontics
Early Intervention for Lifelong Healthy Smiles
| New York Dental Clinic | Daegu Dental Clinic
Developing a beautiful, functional smile starts early. At New York Dental Clinic in Daegu, we provide gentle and effective orthodontic care tailored for children and teenagers. Early orthodontic treatment helps guide proper jaw growth, prevent future dental problems, and boost confidence during formative years.
🏥 What Is Pediatric & Teen Orthodontics?
Orthodontics for children and teens focuses on correcting tooth alignment, bite issues, and jaw development as early as possible—often before all permanent teeth have come in. Timely treatment can reduce the need for surgery or extractions later in life.
We treat patients from around age 7, when early signs of orthodontic problems typically appear.
✅ Your Child May Need Early Orthodontic Care If:
- Teeth are crooked, crowded, or gapped
- They have difficulty chewing or speaking
- The bite doesn’t line up (underbite, overbite, crossbite)
- There’s mouth breathing or thumb sucking
- Their jaw shifts or makes noise when opening or closing
- Baby teeth are lost too early or too late
Early diagnosis allows us to intercept potential problems and guide the jaws and teeth into better alignment as your child grows.
🧠 Treatment Phases for Children & Teens
Phase 1: Early Orthodontics (Ages 7–10)
Gentle appliances such as expanders or partial braces help guide jaw growth and make room for permanent teeth.
Phase 2: Full Orthodontic Treatment (Ages 11–16)
Once most adult teeth are in, braces or clear aligners align the teeth and correct the bite.
We design a treatment plan personalized to your child’s age, dental development, and growth pattern.
🦷 Orthodontic Options Available
- Metal Braces – Durable and effective for all ages
- Ceramic Braces – Less visible, ideal for teens
- Clear Aligners (e.g., Invisalign Teen) – Comfortable and removable
- Growth-Guidance Appliances – Help correct jaw size and position
We offer digital impressions and 3D imaging for more accurate, comfortable care.
