Thank you for your question.

Regarding the age of your child,

after the emergence of permanent teeth, orthodontic treatment is in fact often undertaken using aligners.

It is important to consult a qualified professional who is able to make a proper diagnosis and who is knowledgeable about the appropriate mechanics for moving teeth and obtaining an optimal treatment outcome within a reasonable time.

BEFORE beginning a treatment, always seek the advice of a dentist who holds a specialist title and status, i.e. a certified orthodontist recognized by the Quebec Order of Dentists. That way, you can be sure to make an informed choice.

I look forward to meeting you!

Dr. Jean-Marc Dumoulin, orthodontist
