EARLY ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT

EARLY ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT FOR CHILDREN

According to the American Association of Orthodontists, children should have an initial orthodontic evaluation at age 7. This is recommended because some conditions are much easier to treat if caught early. Early intervention is most common when a child has any of the following issues:

  1. Severe crossbite
  2. Severe overcrowding.
  3. Protruding teeth.
  4. Open bite.
  5. Difficulty chewing and/or biting.

Orthodontic appliances, including braces, palate expander, and headgear, can be successfully used to correct these problems at this stage, thereby increasing the chances of avoiding future surgery. Early intervention aims to create a better environment for permanent teeth as they come in.

If your child is between the ages of seven and eight and needs orthodontic care or your family dentist has directed you to visit the orthodontist, please get in touch with our practice and schedule a complimentary orthodontic evaluation for your child.

Adults get braces to have more confidence in their smiles; preteens and teens get braces for the same reasons. While the reason for treatment may be the same, Panther Creek Orthodontics recognizes that children, teens, and adults have different needs. We will ensure that your needs are met throughout your treatment.

Advancements in modern dentistry allow for more discreet and less invasive orthodontic treatments. Adults realize there is no such thing as being too old for orthodontic treatment and getting the beautiful, straight smile they have always dreamed of. Improving your smile has multiple benefits, both in personal and professional settings, as one of the first things people notice is your smile. Adult orthodontic treatment will give you more confidence in your smile. A beautiful, confident smile gives the impression that you know what you want and how to get there.
