Care from our kids orthodontist team at our Toorak clinic, close to Prahran, South Yarra, Armadale & surrounding Melbourne suburbs. **Children's orthodontics in brief:** Children's orthodontics (early intervention, or interceptive, orthodontics) guides a child's jaw growth and bite while they are still growing. We recommend a first assessment between ages 6 and 8, with treatment usually suited to kids aged 6–11. At our Toorak clinic, close to Prahran, South Yarra and Armadale, we assess your child's teeth, bite, jaw development, breathing and oral habits, then explain whether treatment or monitoring is the right next step. At TMJ Therapy Centre (https://www.tmjtherapycentre.com.au/about-us/), we're passionate about giving children the best start for lifelong oral health. Our children's orthodontics program — also known as early intervention orthodontics, interceptive orthodontics or Phase 1 orthodontics — is designed for children between the ages of 6 and 11, when the jaw is still actively growing and most responsive to guided correction. By identifying and addressing orthodontic issues during these critical growth stages, we can guide jaw development, create space for permanent teeth, and correct bite problems before they become more complex. Early intervention often reduces the need for extractions, surgery, or extensive braces later in life — saving time, discomfort, and cost for your family. What sets our approach apart is our expertise in TMJ and jaw joint health (https://www.tmjtherapycentre.com.au/tmj-treatment-toorak/). Our team understands how early orthodontic intervention affects not just tooth alignment, but jaw function, breathing, and long-term TMJ health — ensuring your child's treatment supports their whole-body wellbeing. ## Why Choose Early Orthodontic Treatment for Your Child? The main advantage of starting orthodontic treatment during childhood is that it works with your child's natural growth. Between the ages of 6 and 11, the jaw bones are still developing and can be guided into better alignment using gentle, non-invasive appliances. Once growth is complete in the teenage years, correcting jaw discrepancies becomes significantly more difficult and may require surgical intervention. Early orthodontic treatment is not just about straight teeth — it addresses the underlying jaw and bite issues that affect your child's breathing, speech, eating, and facial development. By intervening at the right time, we can harness natural growth to achieve results that would be impossible or far more complex later. ### When Should Your Child Be Assessed? The Australian Society of Orthodontists recommends children have an orthodontic assessment by age 7. At this age, enough permanent teeth have emerged to identify potential problems, while there's still sufficient growth remaining to guide correction effectively. Signs your child may benefit from early intervention: Crowded or overlapping teeth Teeth that don't meet properly (crossbite, underbite, overbite) Early or late loss of baby teeth Thumb-sucking or dummy use beyond age 4 Difficulty chewing or biting Mouth breathing (day or night) Snoring or sleep-disordered breathing Speech difficulties Teeth grinding (bruxism): https://www.tmjtherapycentre.com.au/tmj-treatment-toorak/ Jaw clicking: https://www.tmjtherapycentre.com.au/tmj-pain-toorak/ Facial asymmetry If you've noticed any of these signs, an early assessment allows us to determine whether intervention now would benefit your child, or whether monitoring and waiting is more appropriate. Not every child needs early treatment — our conservative approach means we only recommend intervention when it will make a meaningful difference. Noticed any of these signs?

During your child's assessment, we'll explain which approach is most appropriate and why. Common treatment options include: ### Removable Expansion Plates Custom-made removable plates that gently widen the upper jaw over time, creating space for permanent teeth and improving the bite relationship. Parents turn a small key at regular intervals to gradually expand the appliance. Expansion plates are comfortable, removable for eating and cleaning, and typically worn for 6–12 months. Best for: Narrow upper jaw, crowded teeth, crossbites ### Myobrace & Myofunctional Therapy Flexible silicone appliances worn for 1–2 hours during the day and overnight to train proper tongue position, correct breathing patterns, and guide jaw development. Myofunctional therapy addresses the underlying habits and muscle patterns that cause orthodontic problems, rather than just moving teeth. Best for: Mouth breathing, tongue thrust, thumb-sucking habits, mild crowding ### Functional Jaw Orthopaedics Fixed or removable appliances designed to guide the growth of the upper and lower jaws relative to each other. These are particularly effective during peak growth periods and can correct significant bite discrepancies that would otherwise require surgery after growth is complete. Best for: Underbites, significant overbites, jaw growth discrepancies ### Space Maintainers When a baby tooth is lost early (due to decay or injury), a space maintainer holds the gap open to prevent neighbouring teeth from drifting into the space. This ensures the permanent tooth has room to erupt into the correct position. Best for: Early loss of baby teeth, preventing future crowding ## Your Child's Orthodontic Assessment: What to Expect 1 ### Initial Assessment (Age 6–8 Recommended) Your child's first visit includes a thorough examination of their teeth, bite, jaw alignment, and breathing patterns. We take photographs and may request imaging to assess tooth development and jaw growth. This 45-minute appointment gives us a complete picture of your child's orthodontic needs. 2 ### Treatment Recommendation Based on the assessment, we'll explain our findings and recommend the most appropriate treatment approach — or advise that monitoring is the best option for now. We provide clear information about the recommended appliance, treatment duration, costs, and what's involved for your child and family. 3 ### Active Treatment (Typically 6–18 Months) If treatment is recommended, your child will be fitted with their customised appliance. Regular review appointments (typically every 4–6 weeks) allow us to monitor progress and make adjustments. We provide detailed instructions for appliance care, and our team is available for any questions between appointments. Dr Vivienne Tran explains early orthodontic treatment and how it supports healthy jaw development, breathing, and sleep. Ready to take the first step? Our kids orthodontist team is here to help.

The way your child's jaw grows and how their teeth come together directly affects TMJ health in adulthood. **Bite misalignment and TMJ risk** — When the upper and lower jaws don't grow in harmony, it creates chronic strain on the jaw joints. Children with untreated crossbites, deep overbites, or underbites are significantly more likely to develop TMJ pain, clicking, and dysfunction as teenagers or adults. **Breathing, posture, and jaw development** — Children who mouth-breathe often develop narrow upper jaws and a forward head posture that alters jaw mechanics. Correcting these patterns early — through expansion and myofunctional therapy (https://www.tmjtherapycentre.com.au/oral-myology-toorak/) — supports healthier jaw joint development and better breathing. **Teeth grinding in children** — If your child grinds their teeth, it may indicate a bite discrepancy or emerging TMJ issue (https://www.tmjtherapycentre.com.au/tmj-pain-toorak/). Early orthodontic assessment can identify whether the grinding stems from alignment problems that are treatable during growth. At TMJ Therapy Centre, our unique expertise in both orthodontics and TMJ disorders means we assess your child's treatment needs through a broader lens than a standard orthodontic practice. We consider not just tooth alignment, but jaw joint health, airway function, and long-term musculoskeletal wellbeing. ## When Should My Child See an Orthodontic Practitioner? Many parents wonder whether it's better to wait until all permanent teeth have come through before seeking orthodontic care. While monitoring is sometimes the right approach, waiting too long can limit treatment options and make correction more difficult. Severe underbites, crossbites, and overbites become harder to correct as your child's face and jaw finish developing. Early intervention allows our team to work with your child's natural growth — using it to guide jaw development and tooth alignment in ways that simply aren't possible once growth is complete. The result is often simpler, shorter, and more comfortable treatment with better long-term outcomes. Don't wait — the best time to guide jaw growth is now. ## Children's Orthodontics FAQs ### Will my child need braces later? Not necessarily. Many children who receive early intervention orthodontics need shorter, simpler treatment during their teenage years — and some don't need further treatment at all. Early intervention addresses the most significant jaw and bite issues during growth, which can reduce or eliminate the need for comprehensive braces later. During your child's assessment, we'll discuss the likely treatment pathway including any anticipated Phase 2 treatment. ### What causes my child's teeth to be crowded? ### My child grinds their teeth — is that normal? ### What do expansion plates look like? ### At what age should my child see an orthodontist? ### How long does early orthodontic treatment take? ### How much does early orthodontic treatment cost? ### Is early orthodontic treatment painful for children? ### Can early orthodontics help with mouth breathing and snoring? ### Do you see children from Prahran and South Yarra? ### What's the difference between Phase 1 and Phase 2 orthodontics? ## Your Child's Early Orthodontic Team Image: Dr Vivienne Tran — children's orthodontic dentist Toorak Melbourne (https://www.tmjtherapycentre.com.au/__l5e/assets-v1/4f79ab03-6ed3-42fc-a510-375f4df08b53/dr-vivienne.jpg) Early intervention orthodontics at TMJ Therapy Centre is led by Dr Vivienne Tran (https://www.tmjtherapycentre.com.au/dr-vivienne-tran/), a gentle and thorough dentist who graduated from The University of Melbourne with a Bachelor of Dental Science (Honours).
