Helping Children and Teens Smile Brighter
At Heaton Mersey Orthodontic Centre, we know how important it is to start orthodontic care at the right time. Straight teeth don’t just look good—they make eating easier, keep mouths healthy, and give children the confidence to smile.
Why Start Early?
Orthodontic treatment often begins around the age of 10 to 12, when most of the adult teeth have come through. Starting at the right age makes treatment more effective and can prevent problems from worsening later.
In some cases, starting treatment earlier than age 10, known as interceptive treatment, can help guide how the teeth and jaws develop. This early approach allows the adult teeth to erupt more smoothly and reduces the likelihood of needing complex treatment once all the permanent teeth are in place.
Straight teeth are also easier to brush and floss, lowering the risk of cavities and gum disease and helping children maintain healthy smiles for life.
Why Choose your child’s treatment at Heaton Mersey Orthodontic Centre?
- Specialist orthodontists with decades of experience treating young patients
- A wide choice of braces and aligners, tailored for children and teens
- Friendly, supportive team to help your child feel comfortable and confident

Your Views
“My brother Jack and I would like to say a very, very big thank-you for all the work you have done to make our teeth look really brilliant. When I had my braces removed I couldn’t believe the difference to my teeth (I can’t stop smiling now and I’m not worried about showing off my teeth).”
Leah and Jack Taylor
“2 years later, HMOC and Dr. Bhatti have given me the perfect smile, along with a new sense of confidence. Lovely people, excellent customer service and genuinely supportive before, during, and after my treatment! Forever grateful, I’d recommend HMOC to anyone and everyone!”
