Early orthodontic care can help guide your child’s smile as it develops — making future treatment more effective and less complex. At Winchester Orthodontic Practice, our specialist team offers a gentle, personalised approach to children’s orthodontics, helping young patients feel at ease while laying the foundations for a healthy, confident smile.
We recommend an orthodontic assessment around the age of 7. At this stage, children typically have a mix of baby and adult teeth, and we can spot early signs of crowding, bite problems, or jaw growth concerns. Early detection doesn’t always mean immediate treatment — but it allows us to monitor development and intervene at the ideal time.
We offer a full range of child-friendly orthodontic treatments designed to guide jaw development and tooth positioning:
Treatment duration varies depending on the type of appliance used and your child’s stage of growth. On average, early interventions last 12–24 months, followed by a period of wearing retainers to maintain results. If no immediate treatment is required, we’ll offer regular reviews as your child grows.
We believe every child should have access to expert orthodontic care. That’s why we offer a variety of flexible payment options:

Not necessarily. While many children begin treatment between ages 9 and 14, early assessments allow us to monitor development and step in if intervention is needed. Even if treatment isn’t required right away, we can guide you on the best time to begin.
I couldn’t be happier with my Spark Aligners! The team at Winchester Orthodontics made the whole process so easy and reassuring. The aligners were comfortable, discreet, and the results have been amazing. Thank you so much!
I've been the lucky recipient of the most amazing care and attention from Suzette, Stacy, Shelby and Shauna as they took on the unenviable and – I thought – virtually impossible task of straightening my teeth after many many years of hoping against hope that it could be done. Well, 15 months later, and they have literally transformed how my teeth look, and how I feel about how they look. The skill and dedication shown has been incredible and the results are unbelievably incredible. I wish I'd had it done years ago! I have no hesitation in thoroughly recommending them to anyone, especially those like me that have left it way too long until doing something about an issue that has troubled me for years and years. It has literally been a life-changing experience, one that has increased my self-confidence, all for the cost of one good holiday. Thank you, all of you – what you have done is amazing.
Everyone is so friendly and so easy to deal with. Always making sure I am happy with what is happening and with the results. Would recommend to everyone.
