Children
Growth and Development
The aim of orthodontics is to optimally guide the growth and development of the jaws and teeth to promote function, aesthetics, and long-term health.
The Right Time
The general recommendation is to bring your child to an orthodontist before the age of 7. This allows for early detection of potential misalignments or developmental problems and, if necessary, timely treatment.
Early Detection
An early examination can help to identify problems such as crossbite, overbite, or crowded teeth early on. Timely intervention can often prevent more extensive treatments later.
Signs of Treatment Need
-
Mouth breathing
Regular breathing through the mouth instead of through the nose.
-
Crowded Teeth
In the primary dentition, the teeth should be spaced out.
-
Difficulty Concentrating
Difficulty maintaining attention.
-
Open Bite
The front teeth do not overlap.
-
Sleep problems
Restless sleep or audible breathing.
-
Jaw misalignment
For example: Crossbite.
How it works
Step 1:
During the initial consultation, your child will be examined in a relaxed atmosphere. Using modern technology such as an intraoral scan, we assess the current condition and whether treatment is needed.
Step 2:
If necessary, Dr. Pinter collaborates interdisciplinarily with specialists such as ENT doctors or speech therapists. This ensures that the treatment is optimally tailored to your child's needs.
Step 3:
The actual treatment is carried out using gentle, child-friendly methods such as aligners or removable appliances. Regular check-ups ensure smooth progress.
