Children's orthodontics
Orthodontic care for children is primarily aimed at identifying and eliminating risk factors for the development of dentoalveolar anomalies.
During orthodontic diagnostics, we analyze vital functions such as breathing, chewing, swallowing, and speech, the early normalization of which ensures the harmonious development of the child.
Identifying and combating bad habits in children is the key to the formation of a healthy bite.
Diagnostics of the soft tissues of the oral cavity - detection of frenulum abnormalities, muscle tone disorders allows timely correction of the conditions for the formation of the child's bite.
The purpose of the occlusion and chewing load analysis is to identify and correct occlusal obstacles that can lead to facial asymmetry and the development of temporomandibular joint pathology in the future.
The task of an orthodontist in childhood is to diagnose adentia and plan their treatment, restore crowns of decayed primary teeth and replace dental arch defects with prosthetics, and timely remove retained extra-completed temporary teeth.
An individual treatment plan for your child, which is based on the results of orthodontic diagnostics, may include treatment with appliances, partial braces, and myofunctional exercises.
To obtain the highest quality result, specialists may be involved - an otorhinolaryngologist, allergist, neurologist, orthopedic rehabilitation specialist, somnologist, and others.

Answers to popular questions
- Yes, teeth can be moved even after the growth of the jaws has finished. It is important that the condition of the bone tissue and gums allows for treatment to be carried out. In cases of pronounced skeletal disorders, the orthodontic stage is sometimes combined with orthognathic surgery.
- The method is chosen based on the diagnosis, not just by appearance. Braces may be more suitable for certain complex movements, while aligners are less noticeable and removable. The final decision is made after diagnostics.
- No, the removal of all wisdom teeth is not mandatory. The decision depends on their position, the presence of cavities or inflammation, the impact on neighboring teeth, and the planned treatment mechanics.
- Active treatment often lasts about 12-24 months; however, the exact duration depends on the diagnosis, the extent of movements, the chosen system, and tissue response.
- Control appointments are most often scheduled at intervals of 4 to 8 weeks, but the specific schedule depends on the type of system, stage of treatment, and planned movements. A consultation with an orthodontist at the Dobrobut Dental Clinic helps determine whether local teeth alignment is sufficient or if comprehensive bite correction is needed. After the examination, the patient receives a plan, estimated timelines, sequence of stages, and a preliminary cost estimate.
