When is an orthodontic appliance needed?
A doctor may recommend treatment if a child has:
- malocclusion;
- crowded teeth;
- early or late loss of baby teeth;
- narrowing of the upper jaw;
- nasal breathing disorders or bad habits (thumb sucking, incorrect swallowing);
- incorrect position of individual teeth.
Types of children’s orthodontic appliances
- Orthodontic plates are removable structures that help expand the jaw and correct the position of the teeth.
- Trainers – elastic silicone devices for correcting early malocclusions and eliminating bad habits.
- Fixed devices for expanding the palate – used when narrowing the upper jaw and creating enough space for the correct eruption of permanent teeth.
- Brace systems – used after the eruption of most permanent teeth for comprehensive bite correction.
Advantages of early treatment
- correct development of the jaws;
- prevention of complex orthodontic problems;
- improvement of smile aesthetics;
- normalization of chewing and speech;
- reduction of the need for complex treatment in the future.
When to see an orthodontist?
The first preventive examination by a pediatric orthodontist is recommended at the age of 6–7 years.
It is during this period that the doctor can timely detect developmental disorders of the dentofacial system and select the most effective treatment method.
Family Dent dentistry provides modern diagnostics and selection of individual orthodontic appliances for children.
Our specialists will help form the correct bite, ensure harmonious development of the jaws and give the child a healthy and beautiful smile.
