How Orthodontics Improve Children’s Teeth and Bite
You may be wondering when is the right time for children to begin orthodontic treatment. While no two patients—and therefore, no two orthodontic transformations—are alike, the American Association of Orthodontists recommends most children should see an orthodontist around the age of seven.
Signs that point to an orthodontic issue
If you’re not sure whether your child needs orthodontic care, there are a few key giveaways. In addition to noticeable gaps, crowding, or crookedness, if your child has any trouble speaking or chewing, this could suggest that they may struggle with tooth, bite, or jaw-related issues that can be fixed by orthodontic treatment. Additionally, children who snore, suck their thumbs, or suffer from bruxism (grinding their teeth in their sleep) often have underlying orthodontic problems, such as blocked airways caused by misaligned teeth. These issues can be treated and greatly improved by early orthodontic intervention.
Additional benefits of early treatment
In addition to treating bite and airway-related issues, early orthodontics can prove very effective in preventing more issues down the line. For example, it is much easier to widen a child’s palate early on, as well as prevent future issues before they worsen, especially when it comes to the jaw and overall skeletal structure of the mouth. Therefore, seeking orthodontic care for your children early may make any future orthodontic or dental issues easier to manage, or it may prevent them entirely.
Pediatric Orthodontic Care
Dr. Hutta and Dr. Kamrani are well-versed in providing care for patients from elementary school into high school and beyond. In fact, it is often these cases that prove most transformative both aesthetically and physically. This is because the mouth’s structure is far more malleable for kids than it is for adults, and making key changes to a child’s jaw, bite, and palate can greatly improve their health and quality of life.
