Pediatric Orthodontics
At Orthomax Smiles Polyclinic, our Pediatric Orthodontics department is dedicated to guiding the healthy growth and development of children’s teeth and jaws. We focus on early diagnosis, preventive care, and gentle orthodontic treatments that help children develop straight teeth, proper bite alignment, and balanced facial growth.
All treatments are planned under the expert supervision of Dr Nousheen Aziz and Dr Thameem Ahmed, ensuring a safe, child-friendly, and growth-focused approach.
What is Pediatric Orthodontics?
Pediatric orthodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry that focuses on identifying and correcting dental and jaw issues in children at an early age. Early treatment helps guide the natural growth of teeth and jaws, preventing more serious problems in the future.
It addresses:
- Crooked or crowded teeth
- Early loss of baby teeth
- Jaw growth imbalance
- Bite problems (overbite, underbite, crossbite)
- Habits like thumb sucking or mouth breathing
Why Early Orthodontic Care is Important
Early orthodontic evaluation (usually around age 6–7) allows dentists to detect problems before they become severe.
Benefits of early treatment:
- Guides proper jaw development
- Reduces need for complex treatment later
- Prevents tooth crowding
- Improves facial symmetry
- Supports better speech and chewing function
- Boosts child’s confidence and smile aesthetics
