Orthopaedics involves early interceptive Orthodontic treatment and can be initiated on many types of bite problems before all of the permanent teeth are present.

Orthopaedic treatment is necessary in many cases when the child's teeth, lips or jaws are not developing normally for their age.

Orthopaedic treatment can:

• Minimise severe malocclusions (bad bites)
  
  
• Improve facial appearance and self esteem
  
  
• Minimise the effects of abnormal growth patterns and guide growth more favourably
  
  
• Reduce protrusion (buck teeth) to decrease chance of injury
  
  
• Reduce the need for or minimise the number of permanent teeth extracted
  
  
• Improve the alignment of the upper to the lower jaw
  
  
• Decrease or eliminate adverse habits such as thumb sucking or tongue thrusting during swallowing as the dental arches are developing, making more room for the tongue
  
  
• Make the orthodontic (braces) treatment easier and shorter
  
  
• Improve nasal breathing and improve health
  
  
• Prevent headache and ear ache
