Early Years Orthodontics
Give Your Child’s Smile the Best Start In Life
Many of the problems adults face with the position of their teeth are entirely avoidable.
While many orthodontic issues aren’t always visible until all the permanent teeth have emerged, they can actually develop from early childhood.
When talking about orthodontics, it’s easy to focus on misaligned teeth, but problems surrounding jaw shape and bite issues are also very common—and avoidable.
Early orthodontic assessment at around the age of seven identifies these problems so your child can receive treatment before their more self-conscious teen years. By catching these issues early, your child’s treatment may be quicker and easier.
Early Orthodontic Assessment
From birth, children start to smile. Although teeth don’t usually emerge for a few months after birth, your child’s jaw and dental features started forming before you even saw their smile.
As your child gets a little older, we’ll start looking at the formation of their teeth, assessing how they affect facial structures and putting treatment plans in place to correct problems before they grow.
Let’s Make It Simple
You may have heard of Invisalign, the popular orthodontic treatment used by teenagers and adults the world over—It’s subtle, comfortable, simple, and effective. So, when your child receives orthodontic treatment, clear removable Invisalign First aligners are the perfect solution.
Invisalign First is a specially designed child-friendly aligner perfect for young smiles. It works just like the adult treatment by applying gentle pressure to your child’s teeth so they gradually move to their new position.
Throughout your child’s Invisalign treatment, they’ll wear a series of removable aligners. Because the aligners are removable, they won’t affect mealtimes or get in the way of your child brushing their teeth.
Because Invisalign is discreet, the aligners won’t stand out when your child smiles. Once your child has worn their aligner for a while, they will hardly feel them either. The smooth, light plastic makes Invisalign comfortable.
Invisalign is highly effective; however, in some cases, we may combine this treatment with additional appliances or suggest an alternative option if it better suits your child’s needs.

What Patients Say
It’s totally worth it!
After an accident, poor repair work with bridges left Phil facing difficulties with speech and low on confidence. So how does he rate implants from the Hale Dental team? He says they’re better than the real thing!
Just go for it!
Guy discovered Hale Dental following a recommendation from his dentist. He says implants from Hale Dental have restored his confidence and put a spring back in his step. And the procedure turned out to be much more comfortable than expected.
Our 5* Reviews
“Such good care at Hale Dental. Everyone there is so kind and efficient- I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend- and I have done!”
“Super professional friendly and Covid safe environment. All staff makes me feel welcome and treats me like vip patient. Booking procedure smooth and reminder email/ text of my appointments, “ never a problem” attitude to changes or re-schedule appointment. A special mention to Bernadette, Nina, Sophie, Richard and the ladies assisting during treatment. If you visit Hale Dental , you never fear going to the dentist again.”
“Very professional team & service, hygiene 10+ Very welcoming, very efficient and would highly recommend. Thanks to all of you 😊”
“My first visit to the clinic was very positive. I am extremely anxious at dental appointments but they were so patient with me. Everything was done to minimise my anxiety. I feel confident going ahead now, with a full programme of implant work in the next few months. This is a huge step for me and I have full confidence in the team I met at the clinic who explained the whole procedure to me. Thank you! This dentophobe is actually looking forward to starting treatment.”
“..Sophie is a lovely, gentle, professional and talented lady, and I am so incredibly pleased with the small (yet amazing) change she’s made to my smile! I keep smiling at myself in the mirror!! 🤣 I feel like I want to return because it was a lovely experience, but I have nothing to return for. You can even watch TV whilst having treatment, there is a TV on the ceiling! I feel this would help to relax nervous patients. I will be referring anyone I know to Sophie, because I’d know that they are in safe hands..”
“I found Hale Dental to a very Professional practice and the premises are very clean. The practice has all the latest equipment and experience which meant that they were able to deal with all my dental needs. The staff were also both very efficient and polite. I was kept informed with every stage of my treatment plan and I found the treatment to be competitively priced.”
“I have been in business for many years and I have never found such a business whereby every single person from top to bottom have such quality!! They are efficient, effective and extremely friendly. They actually care about people and I only wish that the rest of our country could operate in such a manner.”
“My local Dentist recommended I consult Richard and the Team at Hale Dental & Implant Clinic regarding issues I was having with an old implant. Despite being officially closed over the Christmas / New Year period, Richard reviewed X-rays and photos of my teeth and arranged to see me at the earliest opportunity. I subsequently received treatment that was simply first class in all aspects and have no hesitation is recommending to others.”
“I would highly recommend Hale Dental and Implant Clinic to everyone. They are not just professional but extremely kind, helpful and sensitive at what can be a very nervous time. From Hayley on reception who was so friendly and took time out to explain there were road works and it may delay my journey, to Donna, my care coordinator, who was so positive and reassuring to Jonny my dentist who is the most understanding and patient practitioner I have come across in all my time visiting the dentist. I would not go any where else. Thank you to all of you.”
