Dental Braces - How Early?
 |
"Dr. Lechlak, how early should children get an orthodontic evaluation?" |
|
At Orthodontic Associates we use the simple guideline that children should be examined at the time their permanent teeth are beginning to come in. However, every child is different, and the best starting time for orthodontic treatment depends on the type of problem and how severe it is. So the answer really is: "It depends..." If your child requires treatment, early intervention can make a real difference. At Orthodontic Associates we see the best results with early treatments that would be impossible once your child's face and jaw have completely developed. During the initial examination, we will evaluate your child's facial growth, spacing between teeth, crowding, extra or missing teeth. And they will look for habits like tongue-thrusting and thumb-sucking that may hinder normal growth and development. These problems can change tooth alignment as well as alter facial appearance. If your child doesn't require any early treatment, we generally will schedule periodic follow-up exams while the permanent teeth are coming in and the face and jaws continue to grow. Orthodontic treatment at Orthodontic Associates can bring your child's teeth, lips and face into harmony. And we all know that a pleasing appearance and beautiful smile give children -- and adults -- a big advantage in life. For more information about how we at Orthodontic Associates can help you with dental braces, call us at (800) 454-9875, we will be happy to talk with you.
