Orthodontics for Children
Though every child develops slightly differently, the American Association of Orthodontists suggests that children visit the orthodontist by the age of seven. This will help the orthodontist diagnose and correct tooth and jaw problems early on.
The Benefits of Early Treatment For All Ages
There are many benefits to obtaining early orthodontic treatment for your child. This will allow your orthodontist to guide the growth of the jawbone, helping the permanent teeth to come in straight. It can also help create additional space for crowded teeth, correct thumb sucking, help improve minor speech issues, and prevent the need for tooth extraction later on in life.
There are many signs that will indicate that your child would benefit from early orthodontic treatment. If your child breathes through their mouth or has crowded teeth, they may benefit from early treatment. Additionally, if they engage in regular thumb sucking or have a hard time chewing food, they will likely benefit from early orthodontic treatment.
Orthodontics for Teens
The teen years are often the ideal time for braces. Though teens may dread obtaining braces, they will certainly appreciate it later in life. Braces are available in many different materials, colors, and styles. The required amount of time for treatment will vary between individuals. Early treatment will reduce the overall time required for orthodontic treatment. The kind and severity of problems will also affect the required time length. Additionally, how diligent you are in following your orthodontist’s direction will affect your required treatment time. Braces are a very common appliance for teenagers. Innovations in orthodontic technology have made it much easier to look and feel great. Contact our office to schedule your next checkup.
