Early orthodontic care can make a big difference in your child’s smile and confidence. At Colchester Orthodontic Centre, we offer several treatment options designed to guide the jaw and teeth into position as they develop.

Angel Aligners offer a range of early orthodontic solutions designed with younger smiles in mind. Our friendly team is here to guide and support your child every step of the way.

Angel Aligner KiD

Angel Aligner KiD is a clear aligner system with features designed specifically for children, starting from as young as age 7. These aligners are made for comfort and easy wear, gently guiding your child’s teeth while supporting healthy jaw development.

Here are some of the key features of Angel Aligner KiD:

Eruption tabs

Aligners are equipped with added space to accommodate permanent teeth that are still growing in.

Lingual guidance

Built-in tongue cribs can help encourage proper tongue posture and discourage harmful habits like tongue thrusting or thumb sucking.

A discreet anchor point is integrated into the aligners so that elastics can be attached to the upper and lower jaws, helping to correct bite issues.

Angel Aligner A6: Mandibular Advancement Solution

Typically, functional orthodontics requires two stages: first, correcting the jaw position, and then aligning the teeth. The Angel Aligner A6 is an advanced clear aligner system that does both at the same time.

A6 uses built-in occlusal ramps to gently guide the lower jaw forward as it grows, while simultaneously straightening the teeth. This innovative approach can reduce overall treatment time and offers a more comfortable solution for patients who need mandibular advancement.

Fixed braces

Fixed braces are a reliable and effective way to straighten your child’s teeth and correct bite issues. Using small brackets attached to each tooth and connected by a wire, fixed braces gently guide teeth into better positions over time.

At Colchester Orthodontic Centre we offer both traditional metal and ceramic braces. Ceramic braces are more discreet, using materials that blend in with the color of your teeth. Fixed braces can treat a variety of orthodontic concerns, from spacing and crowding to bite issues.

The importance of early intervention

Early orthodontic assessments can make a big difference in your child’s long-term oral health. By identifying potential issues with jaw growth, bite alignment or tooth positioning early on, we can often guide development in a way that reduces the need for more complex treatment later.

The British Orthodontic Society recommends that children have their first orthodontic consultation by age 7. By bringing your child in for a consultation, we can monitor their developing smile and determine the best time to begin treatment, if needed.
