Many parents bring their child to the clinic only once the bite issue becomes visually noticeable. However, based on observations at DentalClinic24, the optimal time to begin orthodontic treatment is much earlier – during the formation of the permanent bite. With the involvement of Professor Alexander von Breuer, we apply an approach based on early diagnostics: the sooner an anomaly is detected, the gentler and more effective the treatment process can be.
The first orthodontic consultation is recommended at the age of 6-7, when the first permanent teeth begin to erupt. At DentalClinic24, diagnostics include digital occlusion analysis, jaw growth assessment and identification of functional deviations. In early childhood, gentle orthodontic appliances can often be applied, reducing the need for long-term braces or complex corrections in the future.
Many orthodontic issues tend to progress as the child grows. At DentalClinic24, we observe that timely intervention helps guide the development of the maxillofacial system physiologically, preventing asymmetry, speech disturbances and chewing difficulties. In some cases, treatment started before growth is complete progresses faster and delivers more stable long-term results.
Modern brace systems are adapted for children and cause minimal discomfort when applied correctly. At DentalClinic24, we use painless bonding techniques, digital treatment planning and materials that help children adapt quickly to braces. According to the recommendations of Professor von Breuer, adjustments are performed gradually – taking into account growth dynamics and physiological characteristics.
Delaying treatment may complicate the situation. At Dental Clinic24, we inform parents that waiting until the full bite is formed often leads to the need for more aggressive corrective methods, sometimes including surgical intervention. When treatment begins on time, it is possible not only to align tooth positioning but also to establish proper chewing function, optimal jaw development and a harmonious facial profile.
