More often than not, the most common time for people to have orthodontic treatment is during their teenage years, mainly between the age of 11-16. The reason is that most of us will have the majority of our permanent teeth by then and makes it easier to detect potential issues such as spacing, crooked teeth and bite issues. Another reason is that as our body is growing at such a rapid pace at this age, it makes treatment much quicker and easier than during adulthood. We have a broad range of orthodontic treatment available under one roof here at Seapoint Clinic - including traditional and see-through braces as well as Invisalign.

As orthodontics focuses on the correction of teeth and jaws that are positioned improperly as well as crooked teeth and teeth that do not fit together correctly, we can detect the potential early risk of teeth being lost due to tooth decay, increased pressure on the jaw and periodontal disease. The benefits of orthodontic treatment mean that teeth are more likely to last a lifetime and make for a far healthier mouth.

Issues that may result in needing orthodontic treatment include:

• Crowding or spaced teeth
• Irregular position of teeth (ectopic teeth)
• Extra or missing teeth (hypodontia)
• Thumb sucking
• Dental disease such as decay or gum disease
• Premature loss of baby teeth
• Accidents or trauma
