Orthodontics for Children in Madurai

Braces are officially cool! Gone are the days of bulky, uncomfortable metal mouth gears. Today, braces are a fashion statement for kids. They come in fun colors, are smaller, and much more comfortable.

If your child is in school and thinks braces look uncool, we have great news. We offer clear braces, colored brackets, and even Invisalign Teen so they can update their look every time they visit us.

When Should Treatment Begin?

The Indian Orthodontic Society recommends that every child have an orthodontic check-up by Age 7.

By age 7, the first adult molars erupt, establishing the back bite. During this time, an orthodontist can evaluate front-to-back and side-to-side tooth relationships. Early detection (Phase 1 Treatment) can:

• Guide jaw growth properly.
• Lower the risk of trauma to protruded front teeth.
• Correct harmful oral habits (like thumb sucking).
• Improve appearance and self-esteem.
• Simplify later treatment (braces) if needed.

Signs Your Child Needs Braces

Look out for these signs that indicate your child should see Dr. Sivanesan:

• Early or late loss of baby teeth.
• Difficulty chewing or biting.
• Mouth breathing.
• Thumb sucking past age 5.
• Crowded, misplaced, or blocked-out teeth.
• Jaws that shift, make sounds, or protrude.
