Clifton Hill Dental
Dr Nick Malamas

Do you offer orthodontics?

We offer Invisalign clear aligners in Clifton Hill for teenagers and adults.

Early orthodontics may provide your child with healthier teeth in the future by eliminating tooth stress due to a misaligned bite, and we will be happy to refer you to a specialist in children's orthodontics if we notice anything that needs to be addressed. 

Ways Orthodontics May Help Your Child

Other ways orthodontics may help your child include:

  • Speech development
  • Easier chewing
  • Healthier jaw joints

We monitor your child closely from their first visit but place a particular emphasis on tooth and jaw development around age seven. This is the age when they might benefit the most from early intervention.

Orthodontic recommendations at this age may include palatal expanders or space maintainers. These options can make future orthodontics easier by creating or maintaining space for adult teeth to erupt correctly.

If we think your child will benefit from traditional braces, we will gladly refer you to another dentist. However, we do offer Invisalign for older teens who are committed to their orthodontic regimen.

The goal of orthodontics is to give your child straight teeth, but there may be several oral health benefits that go along with an aligned smile.
