During your child’s regular checkups, we will continually monitor the development of their jaws and teeth. If we do see any problems with tooth misalignment or with jaw growth, we will recommend they see an orthodontist for a proper evaluation. Sometimes an orthodontic evaluation can take place as early as age five.
An orthodontist won’t necessarily recommend treatment at this stage, but they can produce a treatment plan identifying the optimal age for your child to wear braces. If your child does have early orthodontic treatment, it may involve using pre-eruption guidance appliances, which are different from ordinary braces.
How Can an Orthodontic Evaluation Help My Child?
An orthodontist is a dental specialist and can analyze your child’s teeth and jaws, quickly determining if there are any problems or if any issues are likely to develop in the future.
Our orthodontist can provide the most up-to-date and effective treatment to straighten crooked teeth and at the most appropriate times, often taking advantage of jaw growth and development. They can design and fit braces for kids, including affordable braces options. It is common to see teens with braces, and there are several types of dental braces available for teenagers. Seeing an orthodontist will ensure they receive the best braces for their needs.
What Is the Advantage of Having Orthodontic Treatment?
Orthodontic treatment will give your child a more cosmetically perfect smile and can also help to create a nicer facial profile by guiding tooth and jaw development. Although braces can help to create a more aesthetically appealing smile, this is often not their only purpose.
Orthodontic treatment can create a healthier smile too. Straighter teeth are much easier to brush thoroughly as the toothbrush can easily reach all visible tooth surfaces compared with teeth that are crooked and overlapping. Flossing is also much easier as tightly packed teeth or teeth which are overlapping are often difficult to floss effectively.
