  • WHY ORTHODONTICS

When is the best time to start?

The best time for a child’s first orthodontic check-up is around age 7. Early assessment helps us spot any potential issues while the teeth and jaws are still developing.

What are the signs my child might need braces or early orthodontic care?

Common signs include crowded or crooked teeth, an overbite or underbite, difficulty chewing, mouth breathing, or early or late loss of baby teeth. If you’re unsure, our team at iSmile Orthodontics in Melbourne can assess your child’s smile and bite with a gentle, stress-free appointment at one of our local Melbourne clinics, or you can submit their smile online for a free assessment.

Treatment options vary based on age and dental development. Some children benefit from early interceptive treatment such as expanders or partial braces, while others may be monitored until they’re ready for full braces. Our specialist orthodontists will create a plan tailored to your child’s needs, supporting them through every stage of growth. Chat to us today.

Invisible ceramic braces or metal braces are the most common treatment, but not the only one. Depending on your child’s needs, we may recommend other appliances like expanders, spacers or early removable plates. For teens, we also offer Invisalign. At iSmile Orthodontics, we use modern techniques and equipment to provide the right solution at the right time.

Treatment time depends on your child’s needs. Early intervention might only last a few months, while braces usually take between 12 and 24 months. During your consultation, we’ll provide a clear timeline and explain how regular check-ups at our Caroline Springs, Bundoora or Mernda clinics help keep everything on track.

Costs vary depending on the treatment needed. At iSmile Orthodontics, we offer interest-free payment plans with low deposits to make treatment more affordable for families. We’ll provide a detailed quote during your child’s consultation and work with you to choose a payment option that suits your budget.
