Child orthodontics
Palate
These are treatments performed when both milk teeth and permanent teeth are in the mouth, that is, during the mixed dentition period. If there are crossbite teeth, they can be brought to their normal places. Habits such as thumb sucking or incorrect swallowing can be corrected with this orthodontic palate. The duration of orthodontic treatments varies between 6 months and 1 year on average. These treatments prepare your child for fixed (braces) treatment. In very rare cases, fixed treatment is not needed.
