Plates: Gentle Guidance for Growing Smiles
Orthodontic plates offer a comfortable and effective solution for many orthodontic issues, particularly for younger patients. These removable appliances gently guide teeth into their correct positions as your child grows.
Why Choose Plates?
Early Intervention: Plates can address developing orthodontic problems early on, often preventing the need for more complex treatments like braces later.
Comfort: Unlike fixed braces, plates are removable, allowing for easy cleaning and increased comfort.
Versatility: Plates can treat a wide range of orthodontic issues, including thumb-sucking habits and jaw development.
Aesthetics: Unlike braces, plates are less noticeable, making them a popular choice for conscious children.
The specialist orthodontists at our Takapuna/North Shore clinic carefully assess your child’s unique needs to determine if plates are the right treatment option. We use advanced technology and materials to create custom-fitted plates that are both effective and comfortable.

What Our Patients Have to Say
Orthodontic Treatment For Children
Seen early, an orthodontist can intercept certain teeth and bite problems, preventing future issues with alignment and potentially avoiding extractions and the cost and time of braces later.
Braces effectively correct a variety of alignment issues, while Invisalign provides a discreet, comfortable option with clear aligners that can be removed for eating and cleaning. Both treatments enhance confidence and promote better oral health for a brighter future.
