The effect of open mouth posture and downward growth on a growing child
If any of the above list has ticked a few boxes re your child ,then it is important to bring your child to a Dentist or Orthodontist who is trained to deal with the problems of Poor facial growth. He or she may be able to advice you ,on the best course of treatment appropriate for the age of the child.
We encourage all parents to bring their child along for a free examination and chat, but in order to do a comprehensive treatment plan, we normally require X-rays, (Lateral skull and panoramic), impressions for study casts, photographs of face, teeth and body posture.
Once we have all these records, a full written treatment plan is discussed with parents and child.
It is very important that everyone fully understands the treatment proposed and the costs involved, as any course in orthodontic treatment requires a commitment from all parties concerned.
Free Information Seminars are regularly held for parents and children. If you would like to attend one of these seminars, please call O’Connor Dental Health to arrange a place for you and your family
My experience in the O Connor dental health was pleasent.As a person who is nervous about visiting the dentist i felt very relaxed both in the waiting room and on the chair.Over the years i have attended a few different dentists and this has been the one practice where i felt relaxed and at ease due to the care of the staff. Before my procedures it was explained to me by the staff what to expect and i found this helped put me at ease. For any one who is nervous of visiting the dentists i would strongly recommend this practice.

My daughter needed orthodontic treatment. Tony did a very comprehensive plan for my daughter and went through it with me and my daughter in great detail before he began the treatment. We knew how long it was going to take and what exactly was involved. What I liked about Tony was, he was so enthusiastic himself about the treatment and took great pride in getting it right, tweaking a bit here and there to make sure he got the best result. He explained everything to my daughter and encouraged her through the treatment. Tony does not just look at the teeth but also the shape of her mouth and the overall look. I would highly recommend Tony and his team, he is a genuine, passionate and meticulous about his work and a very nice person as well. My daughter has a lovely smile and my younger daughter can't wait to start her treatment as she sees the fantastic results of Tony's work and can't wait to have the same fantastic smile.
