Early Orthodontic Treatment
in Cold Lake
At Edge Orthodontics in Cold Lake, Alberta, we believe orthodontic care can begin early. The Canadian Association of Orthodontists recommends that children have their first orthodontic evaluation around age seven. Starting early allows us to identify bite or alignment concerns while the jaw and teeth are still developing, which makes treatment simpler and more effective.
Why Consider Early Orthodontic Treatment?
Detect and correct crowding, spacing, or bite issues before they progress
Reduce the need for extractions or jaw surgery later in life
Guide jaw growth and create space for incoming permanent teeth
Improve speech development and chewing function
Build confidence by supporting a healthy smile from a young age
By addressing orthodontic problems in childhood, we can often shorten or simplify future treatment when braces or Invisalign® may be needed in the teen years.
A Comfortable and Positive Experience
Our Cold Lake orthodontic team specializes in working with children and youth. We focus on creating a welcoming environment that helps kids feel at ease. Early treatment is designed to be interactive and supportive, giving your child the confidence to enjoy their appointments.
Parents are included at every step, so you’ll understand the treatment plan and how it supports your child’s long-term oral health.
What Early Treatment Can Involve
Early orthodontics doesn’t always mean braces. Treatment may include:
Growth monitoring with regular check-ins
Space maintainers or expanders to guide jaw development
Limited braces on select teeth if early correction is needed
Lifestyle guidance to help reduce habits that affect tooth alignment
Our Cold Lake office uses modern digital scans to plan treatments accurately, making the process easier for children and families.
