Orthodontics for Kids in Richmond Hill
Healthy, Confident Smiles Start Early
At Smiles on Yonge, we believe every child deserves a healthy bite and a confident smile. Our Richmond Hill clinic provides specialized orthodontic care for children and teens, with a focus on early detection and gentle, effective treatment. By working closely with our in-house pediatric dentistry team, we ensure your child’s orthodontic journey is comfortable, coordinated, and stress-free.
Why Early Orthodontic Care Matters
The Canadian Dental Association and the Canadian Association of Orthodontists recommend that children have their first orthodontic evaluation by age seven. This early assessment allows us to:
- Identify bite and jaw development issues while they are easier to treat
- Reduce the risk of more complex procedures in the future
- Guide permanent teeth into better positions as they grow
For many children, no immediate treatment is needed. However, early monitoring helps us recommend the right care at the right time.

We provide a complete range of orthodontic solutions designed for growing smiles:
