Clinician Spotlight: Children And Teen Orthodontics With Dr Alex Eremia

Dr Alex Eremia leads our care for children and teenagers with a gentle, reassuring style. She plans every detail with care and explains each step in simple language. Your family benefits from contemporary techniques supported by NUYU’s digital systems. This guides the best timing, the right brace or aligner, and long-term stability. Parents value her evidence-based advice, and young patients feel involved in their own smile plan.

When Should My Child See An Orthodontist?

Every child grows at their own pace. An initial assessment around age 8 to 10 helps us track development and spot early concerns. You may wish to book sooner if you notice:

  • Crowding or spacing of front teeth

  • Thumb-sucking that continues beyond early childhood

  • Bite concerns such as underbite, overbite, or crossbite

  • Difficulty cleaning due to tooth position

  • Jaw clicking or discomfort

If treatment is not needed yet, we simply monitor growth and guide you on ideal timing. This keeps your child supported without rushing.

Your Seven-Step NUYU Orthodontic Experience For Children And Teens

1) Lounge And Concierge Welcome

A gentle start matters. Our front-of-house team makes time for conversation, so your child feels at ease from the first visit.

2) Photography And 3D Scans

You will see clear photographs and a comfortable iTero 3D scan. AI-assisted analysis helps reduce repeat appointments and supports accurate planning.

3) Comprehensive Oral Health Assessment

Your clinician reviews scans, photographs, and growth patterns. You receive a bespoke plan shaped around age, lifestyle, and goals, designed for confidence and long-term comfort.

4) Clear Options And Finance

We explain choices, timelines, and fees in plain English. Transparent finance options help you decide at a pace that feels right.

5) Treatment Begins

Your plan may include fixed braces, Invisalign Teen clear aligners, or functional appliances. Each step is precisely planned for comfort, with regular reviews to keep progress on track.

6) Ongoing Care And Reviews

Appointments are scheduled around school and family life. Expect regular updates, gentle adjustments, and clear answers to every question.

7) Smile Finishing And Retention

When active treatment finishes, we fit retainers and agree a personalised retention plan. In the UK, tooth whitening is only available for patients aged 18 and over unless there is a specific dental need.

If appropriate after 18, we can discuss whitening or other cosmetic options separately. This final stage protects your result and builds long-term confidence.

Braces Or Invisalign Teen, Choosing What Suits Your Child

Fixed Metal Or Ceramic Braces

Versatile and reliable for many needs. Ceramic options blend with natural tooth shades for a lower-profile look. Regular adjustments guide precise tooth movement for a healthy, stable bite.

Invisalign Teen In Cheltenham

Clear, removable aligners that fit busy teenage routines. They often require fewer in-clinic visits and feel discreet in photos and day-to-day life. Consistent wear is important, usually 20 to 22 hours a day. If an aligner is misplaced, our team helps you get back on track quickly.

Functional Or Growth-Guidance Appliances

In selected cases, early-phase appliances can guide jaw relationships during growth. This can make comprehensive treatment more efficient later on.

Your clinician considers growth stage, bite, oral hygiene, and personal preferences. Every plan prioritises health, function, comfort, and confidence, so the result feels natural and secure.

Digital Dentistry That Keeps Appointments Calm And Efficient

Our AI-assisted 3D imaging can show a digital smile preview before treatment begins. This supports informed choices and helps young patients stay motivated. Every smile is unique, so previews are indicative rather than a promise of the final look. They do, however, make the process easier to understand.

Thoughtful planning can limit unnecessary visits and support shorter appointments. Parents often tell us that clear visuals and calm surroundings help everyone feel at ease.

Comfort, Communication, And Continuity

Orthodontics is a process, and we are with you throughout.

  • Check-ups are kept smooth and on time, with friendly explanations at every step.

  • Simple home-care tips make cleaning around braces or caring for aligners straightforward.

  • Prompt guidance for common scenarios, such as a loose bracket or a misplaced aligner, with swift appointments when needed.

Real example. If a wire rubs after sport, call us. We will guide you on soothing wax and see you promptly if needed. Little adjustments can make a big difference to comfort.

Life After Braces, Retainers, Confidence, And Healthy Habits

Retainers keep newly aligned teeth stable. We show your child how to care for removable or fixed retainers, then schedule follow-ups to protect their result. For patients 18 and over, we can explore cosmetic finishing touches such as professional whitening.

Any facial aesthetics are considered only when clinically appropriate, clearly explained, and provided in line with current guidance. These steps help maintain a bright, confident smile for years.

Transparent Costs And Flexible Finance

Every plan is bespoke. At your consultation, you receive a clear outline of the likely timeline, number of visits, and fees. Many families choose interest-free or low-interest finance, subject to status. Our aim is clarity and comfort, so there are no surprises as you move forward.
