Orthodontics for Kids in Unley & Hahndorf
A great smile starts early. Around age seven, it’s smart to check your child’s teeth and jaw development. Dr Sven and our team focus on monitoring growth so we can spot and treat issues before they become bigger problems.
Why Early Orthodontic Care Matters
The Australian Society of Orthodontists recommends an orthodontic evaluation by age seven. This first visit is about planning ahead, not starting braces right away. Most kids won’t need treatment immediately, but an early check helps Dr Sven track changes and recommend simple solutions if needed.
Signs to Look for in Your Child’s Smile
Here are a few key indicators to look for to know if your child needs orthodontic treatment:
- Crowded or missing teeth
- Premature or delayed loss of baby teeth
- Challenges in biting or chewing
- Speech difficulties
- Prolong pacifier use
- Narrow palette
- Underbite
- Crossbite
- Open bite
How Kids Benefit from an Early Start
Simpler Treatment Later
Early intervention helps create space for permanent teeth and guides jaw growth, often reducing the need for extractions or surgery in the future.
Improved Oral Function
Addressing bite issues early helps kids chew comfortably, speak clearly, and avoid habits like mouth breathing that can affect facial development.
Confidence in Growing Smiles
Correcting noticeable issues early—like protruding front teeth or severe crowding—can help boost your child’s confidence and make smiling feel natural.
Better Long-Term Health
Orthodontic treatment in childhood can prevent uneven tooth wear, gum stress, and other problems that may appear later in life.
Orthodontic Care for Teens in Unley & Hahndorf
The teen years are the perfect time to start orthodontic treatment. With most adult teeth in place, Dr Sven can create a smile that looks great and functions well—while making the experience convenient for busy schedules.
The Benefits of Teen Treatment
The Best Timing for Change
With most permanent teeth in place and growth still underway, the teen years are the ideal time for braces or aligners to deliver efficient, lasting results.
A Smile They’re Proud to Share
Whether for school photos, sports, or social media, a healthy smile builds confidence—and that confidence carries through every milestone ahead.
Treatment Options to Match Their Style
Teens can choose between modern metal braces, ceramic brackets, or clear aligners for a look that fits their personality and daily routine.
Fewer Future Problems
Correcting misalignment now reduces the risk of cavities, enamel wear, and jaw discomfort later—saving time and stress as your teen grows.
Braces or Clear Aligners?
At Adelaide Orthodontics, we offer modern braces and discreet clear aligners for teens. Dr Sven will help you choose the right fit based on lifestyle, smile goals, and treatment needs.
Braces for Teens
Metal and ceramic braces are highly effective and can treat even complex cases. Teens love custom colour options to personalise their look.
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are nearly invisible and removable, making them perfect for sports, special events, and easier brushing. Compliance is key—wear aligners for 22 hours a day for the best results.
