Orthodontic treatment for children and adolescents is not just about straightening teeth; it is a treatment that also examines the alignment of teeth and the development of the jawbone during the growth process. Utilizing the growth period can help manage skeletal malocclusion or imbalances in the growth of the upper and lower jaws. If the timing for treatment is missed, orthodontic treatment may become more complex in adulthood, or in some cases, surgical treatment may need to be considered, making early screening important. The appropriate timing and method for starting treatment are determined after a precise diagnosis of the child's growth stage, tooth exchange status, and occlusion.
Treatment information is for reference only and may vary depending on individual conditions. For accurate details, please consult with the facility.

Risks and Notes
Children and adolescents suspected of having crowded teeth, protruding mouth, underbite, receding chin, malocclusion, or jaw growth abnormalities. During the initial period of wearing orthodontic appliances, you may experience pain, pressure, discomfort in pronunciation, or irritation of the oral mucosa. If food particles and plaque accumulate around the appliance, it can lead to tooth decay or gum inflammation, so thorough brushing and regular oral care are necessary. Failure to adhere to the prescribed wearing time and follow-up schedule may prolong the treatment duration or make it difficult to achieve the expected results. You should be cautious with hard or sticky foods, as they can cause the appliance to break or detach. Treatment outcomes and duration may vary depending on the patient's growth status and level of cooperation.
Customized Orthodontics for Children and Adolescents Considering Growth Stages Orthodontic treatment for children and adolescents involves monitoring both the transition from primary to permanent teeth and the growth status of the jawbone. Appropriately utilizing the growth period can help secure space for permanent teeth to emerge and improve dental alignment or growth imbalances between the upper and lower jaws. Not every child needs to begin orthodontic treatment immediately; the appropriate timing and method are determined after a precise diagnosis of the dental transition status, skeletal growth, and occlusion. ※ This image is an example to help understand orthodontic treatment for children and adolescents; actual dental conditions, appliances used, and treatment processes may vary based on individual diagnosis.
