Teeth expansion upper & lower recommendations in London for 5 year old?

Hello,

I am living in Ireland and looking to have my son seen by an airway dentist/orthodontist that will do both upper and lower expansion at the same time please….has anyone had their child do this?

It seems that it’s always upper expansion being advertised online but I’m afraid that will leave an unbalanced aesthetic to his face and overall success of it. He is 5 years old.

thank you for any recommendations as I will need to travel for it x

My daughter had Invisalign starting age 7 to expand both her upper and lower. Not in London so can't help with a specific clinic.

We have not been yet but I have been recommended Toothbeary in Richmond for myofunctional therapy for my 5yo DD. Perhaps have a look at their website and see if it could be an option for you.

My daughter saw a John Mew trained orthodontist when she was 5 to expland her archway.. She's now 20 so it read a long time ago. She did need braces at age 15 but no teeth removed

@TooTiredToType77 hello can I ask who this was and what clinic and where please? What were the results and were you happy?
