At Cloverdale Orthodontics, we believe that early orthodontic care sets the foundation for a lifetime of healthy, confident smiles. That’s why we offer specialized orthodontic treatment for children, focusing on prevention, early detection, and gentle guidance of jaw and tooth development.
Depending on your child’s needs, we may recommend early (also called Phase 1) treatment using expanders, partial braces, or removable appliances. These are designed to create space, improve jaw alignment, or help teeth erupt in the right positions.
Phase 1 treatment typically lasts 6 to 12 months and is followed by a resting period before full orthodontic treatment begins, if needed. The goal is to make any future treatment shorter, simpler, and more effective.
We understand that getting braces—or even just an evaluation—can be a big deal for a child. That’s why we take extra care to create a fun, welcoming environment where your child feels safe and supported.
Our team uses kid-friendly language, explains every step clearly, and celebrates milestones along the way. From colourful bands to progress rewards, we help make your child’s orthodontic experience positive and even exciting.
Parents play a key role in every child’s orthodontic journey. We’ll keep you involved and informed with clear communication, flexible scheduling, and helpful tips for home care. You’ll always know what to expect and how to support your child through each phase of treatment.
Every smile is one of a kind. Whether you need minor adjustments or more advanced care, Cloverdale Orthodontics creates personalized treatment plans designed just for you.
